Been here much more than a while
Location
Olympia, WA
We are expecting serious rain and wind on Saturday, and a regular fall storm tonight. I need extra workers. Safe and skilled.

Text or Call 360-584-5664.
 
Hard to say. We are windy now. Nothing too big. Calmed down from a bit ago. You know the waves of rain, and "sucker holes" (Psyche Sucker, you thought it was going to stop raining) in the clouds.


They started with 1/3 chance of devastating, 2/3 chance of just plain bad. Now they say that it leans a bit more toward the former. If it misses us, it will land close. Someplaces are going to get hit bad. I don't know.

The Olympic Mountains sorta split the air masses, it seems. We got weather going around to the south. Other stuff comes up and around. Then there's even the dry Sequim rain shadow, not all that far from Forks, at about 6 times the annual precip, IIRC.

Its hard to know.

They want people to be prepared.


This is the same type of conditions (tails off a typhoon), that caused the Columbus Day storm of 1962.
Lots of saturating rain, then wind.

We'll see.

Could hit here, or your neighborhood, or Victoria, or ...?

I'm getting updated by someone in State Emergency Managment and someone in DNR.
Cliff Mass is the big voice, I believe. http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2016/10/storm-update.html
 
If you don't mine could you please pass those updates to me? I think the Columbus Day storm is more than over kill. Yes this is the same setup but we have had this same setup since.. yes they have been significant but not huge. All those storms were slated to be repeats or worse, much the same as they are predicting now. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best..
 
Its not here yet... Looks like a near or glancing direct hit for me, It's due to start hitting us between 3-5 and go till midnight. Not really holding my breath, as 75 mph gusts are fairly common, significant yes, but common every few winters. Last year we were with out power for 10+ days, and taking trees off houses for about a month. It was a strong culling storm last year from the north (opposite direction from prevailing winds), this storm seems to be coming from the south so pretty typical perhaps 10%-15% more than averaged storms...
 
Never really happened here. A firefighter friend got a call for a one tree down in the road. That's it, show's over...
 
Dud storm. One splitting maple would have poked through a living room ceiling. I got it strapped, high-safe tie -in. One chain link fence damaged. Funny when the customer just says smash it. Dusk start. 2-3 halogen work lights. 3 hours.

Couple non-emergencies today. See what else happens.
