It's mostly dry farmland/pasture in the valley with a few homes but not densely populated subdivisions. It's been a few years since I was up there.

Too much cold and energy wants to go offshore and develop

Pnw ridging short lived, we go back to SW flow.

Eh, I think it's the same thing as when someone is a news junkie and becomes fascinated by a plane crash or something. I think it's okay and quite normal to find bad things interesting, while still also wishing they wouldn't happen. Like obviously if we had a magic wand, I'm sure everyone here except the most depraved lunatics like Phil would choose to avoid a disastrous wind storm. But since we have zero control over it, no shame in finding it interesting. I get it though, it kind of takes a weird cognitive dissonance with stuff like this.

Looks like 2 wind punches. Monday afternoon and early Wed am even windier. I see about 10mb gradient from Oregon to the border on Monday and 12 or so Wed am.
