Looks like this storm is going to go more south than originally thought. I would be okay with that since our generator is broken right now and while I do enjoy windstorms I don’t like it when the power goes out during them. It just becomes an inconvenience but having a generator makes it a lot better.

At this juncture, I really don't see the wind advisory in the central sound verifying.

PDX-EUG just went from -3.7mb to -6.2mb in 1 hour. Looking at the RAP, HRRR, NAM, GFS forecast for 2 AM that is 1.1 to 1.5mb stronger than forecast.

Just gusted to 27 mph here, power was out until just recently for a lot of the city here. I didn't lose power to my knowledge.
