Must have been super windy up on Deception Pass to blow a semi over on the bridge.

Semi-truck partially hanging over Deception Pass Bridge removed; SR 20 now open

State Route 20 was closed for several hours early Wednesday morning due to a semi-truck partially hanging off the edge of the Deception Pass Bridge.

No power here, still. Went out around 11ish last night. My house is surrounded by (healthy!) 100'+ trees, so I listened to stuff hitting the roof all night, while the unmistakable blue flash of transformer boxes blowing lit the room up every once in a while. Very relaxing!
Lots of limbs to pick up today, including this 4" diameter one that speared firmly into the ground

Wow. What a butthole puckering situation to be in. I can’t believe what a close call that was.

Got to work this morning to find two poles down and Powerlines draped all over the road off Nickerson by the Ballard bridge. I honestly slept through the storm and didn’t realize it happened lol. I asked a coworker if there was a protest and he looked at me sideways..... must have been a good one.

I dropped a 100+ ft red oak tree about 2 months ago. So glad it wasn't on my mind all nite.
I did lose a french door from the 1930's.
....bummer.

Power outage causes 11 million gallons of stormwater, sewage to spill into Puget Sound

An "extensive" overnight power outage inadvertently allowed 11 million gallons of untreated wastewater to flow into Puget Sound Wednesday.

Alabama has the crimson tide, we in WA have the brown one, again...No back up generator is quite stunning and yet somehow not surprising.

Special brown trout now available! They don't fight very well though...

Lots of big limbs down today while out on my walk. Stuff big enough to do damage to people or structures.
With that said, you could ask for a nicer day after a big blow. Had to be close to 55°.
Stuff is starting to sprout up, some rhodies are blooming. Spring will be here before you know it based on how fast last year seemed to go.....

I don't worry about thing's growing up and out until maybe late May or early June. My grass is a nice shade of brown. It won't turn green until May. Short growing season. Can't grow anything because of bad weather sneaking in.

This happens just about every year. So why should 2021 be any different.
