Guess I shouldn’t completely give up on this storm, winds started getting gusty after a complete lull.

Looks like Boeing Field gusted to 51 mph. Here we're probably in the lull before the front clearly on radar moves through in the next half an hour or so.

Just get your money back. Amazon has canceled my items a couple times within 24 hours I'm credited. This also works with Amazon gift cards too which is how I first discovered it though I'm not sure a bout something as big as an Amazon Storm!.

I just work there, not buy stuff.

Idk how the lower elevations are doing but the wind is screaming and there are flashes every few seconds. Much more intense than earlier.

Lows deepening at landfall almost always deliver.  
YVR is gusting to 56mph with heavy rain. 

The strongest gust I’ve seen in the strait was ~84mph at Trial island light house. 

It makes all the difference in the world. Preserves the tight pressure gradient after the low moves inland and passes to our North which is when we tend to get our strongest winds up the Sound.

Idk judging by the winds and the amount of transformers blowing these gusts seem stronger than 37 mph...

Bellevue got slammed and things are starting to pick back up after about a 15 min lull. I'm in one of the towers in Downtown Bellevue, so we don't really lose power, but everyone around us has... Issaquah, Sammamish, Redmond... been watching transformers light up the sky for the last hour.

This is intense.
