The power just came back on here, been off most of the day - the big one is the Hood Canal Bridge (the world's longest floating bridge) has been closed twice today - it is closed right now. The submarine base a few miles from us posted 68 mph winds this afternoon. Flashlight is handy, generator gased and oiled ready to go again.

Hey LF,
I don't envy you the power outages. Happens all
too often here as well. Silly pewters ain't worth
beans when it occurs.*G* We just had 60-65 knot
winds moving through here in the last hour. Have
two different tornado warnings in effect at the
moment here. But strange for us, the power is still
up.*G* I did make a discovery as the storms moved
in a little while ago. My new bionic knee predicts
the weather every bit as effectively as the local
weather station. Now if I could just figure out
how to turn the storm warning circuitry off on the
knee I could go back to sleep.*G* Warm regards, Jim

The weather is runnin' rampant everywhere. We lost power at the office yesterday for a bit too.
Take care out there, ... 'specially North of Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver :!:

My, wasn't that last windstorm fun! We lost power Wednesday afternoon and just got things up and running again. No, we don't have our own generator. It did give us an excuse to go out for dinner though. Had to drive about 45 minutes to find a place with the lights still on.
Lots of roads closed due to downed trees and flood watches are back in effect for most of the rivers.

Wife called about 11 and said power was out at our house just north of Sedro. Network monitoring software informed me of remote location going down in Whatcom County about 11:30. Notified by network monitor of second site going down shortly after the first. Monitoring software informs me main Whatcom branch office down about noon. My network was falling apart as the wind storm moved north and took out power along the way.
Most locations up this morning. Some after 15 hour long power outages. News in Bellingham reported wind gusts in Whatcom County between 90 and 100 miles per hour yesterday. Whoooaaaaa!

Yesterday I visited one of my favorite spots near Monroe and it ain't pretty. The water is still very fast and opaque. It is unlikely that fish can see a lure unless it hits them on the head.

I read where Hwy 35 at Mt.Hood Oregon won't be open to Mt. Hood Meadows ski resort until December 15. I also read that the other ski resorts on Mt. Hood are letting Meadows season ticket holders use their runs for free until the Meadows reopens. Now that is what I call good will in business. The ski area owners are a tight group and understand how mother nature controls their incomes. Can you imagine Ford - GM - Crysler working together like that? They may have to sooner than later.

Jonezee, one of the side benefits from being a sponsor on FAOL has been linking with other that are on here. It is one of the things we never intended, but has happened so any times with the help of the LF. So often most outfits seem to be at logger-heads with other companies. Her catalyzing has often been highly successful. When she finds two companies who might benefit from some mutuality she tries to arrange it.
