It was forecast to arrive yesterday and it did so with a vengeance.I was rather impressed by the winds which bent the trees and blew around small objects that weren't tied down. There are a number of storms every winter which blow in off the Pacific. I'm used to rain and grey skies. Consequently, I shouldn't have been surprised by the situation.
Still, it was a substantial weather system. It blew out the gas fireplace. It created impassible roads. Trees were toppled. Although it stayed on here, power was lost to many households. I could see the windows slightly bend in the gusts.
As I was in all afternoon, I quite enjoyed it.
