That jives with it being a Mountain Wave event rather than typical gap event. North Bend and Monroe weren't hit very hard because the waves went over them and then slammed down in places like Issaquah, Bellevue, Snohomish and Lake Stevens

It's nice when Phil has a lot to add to the forum. It's been a while.

Breezy!

December can produce some nice snowfall across many parts of the region.

I was out in Issaquah today…the damage was impressive to say the least. Trees down on every block. Wooded areas with a branch or tree down every 50 feet. There was even a roof that started peeling off a commercial building near the transit center. I’m sure they had a long duration of wind in the 60-70 mph range right along I-90. The 4 day estimate sounds optimistic to me, I bet it will be a week for some of the smaller outages. There was no sign of any of the numerous branches on power lines being repaired and obviously power was out pretty much everywhere in that area. By tomorrow they will probably have more crews coming in from surrounding areas to help.
