THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SEATTLE HAS ISSUED A HIGH WIND
WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY
MORNING.
A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE POTENTIAL OF STRONG
DAMAGING WINDS. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL REACH THE AREA
THURSDAY EVENING. SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN SHIFT TO SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE FURTHER THURSDAY
NIGHT. SOUTHWEST WINDS AROUND 40 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 65 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT.
A STRONG SURGE OF WESTERLY WINDS IS EXPECTED WITH THIS STORM. ON
THE COAST AND IN THE STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA EVEN STRONGER WINDS
ARE POSSIBLE. IN THESE AREAS WEST WINDS 50 TO 60 MPH WITH GUSTS OF
80 TO 90 MPH ARE POSSIBLE. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT THESE
ESPECIALLY STRONG WEST WINDS WILL BLOW ACROSS WHIDBEY ISLAND LATER
THURSDAY NIGHT.
Well folks, If you dont hear from us for awhile, we are without power....AGAIN!!! That would be me, Phyllis and Keewee too.
I need to go out toorrow morning and bring in my umbrella, so It does not end up on top of Lea's roof. I should be fine. THe garage door may blow in, but that is all. But I seriously doubt we will get winds that high.
GOt water, got food, laundry is all done, firewood is close to the house, got matches, got batteries, got propane and even have pet food. SO we are good to go.
OH YEAH! And I still have two bottles of booze for the fruitcakes! HEY HEY HEY! I am ready! jim beam and Bacardi! Whoot!
