I just got this weather alert for my area
Quote:

Statement as of 3:30 PM PDT on August 18, 2008

... Thunderstorms are possible over western Washington this
evening...

... An unseasonably strong and wet Pacific storm will affect
western Washington late Tuesday through Wednesday...

A chance of thunderstorms will continue over western Washington
this evening from the Puget Sound area eastward into the Cascades.
Some of these storms could produce pea size hail... gusty winds
... And frequent lightning.

An unseasonably vigorous Pacific frontal system will bring a dose
of rain to western Washington Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Precipitation amounts of 0.75 to 1.50 inches are likely along the
coast and in the Olympic Mountains... with 1 to 2 inch totals
widespread over the Cascades. Less rain will fall over the western
Washington interior lowlands... but amounts ranging from one
quarter to three quarters of an inch will be common.


So it's possible I may loose power, and or internet or even get flooded. I live right on the coast.

The easy way to "check up on me" it to check my weather station here. Wish me luck.

And high ground, and a dry bed.

Silly me when I saw the tropic thought you were on the other coast dealing with TS Fay. Although as far as such storms go Fay is a real pussy cat so far. GA and SC is so dry we can use every inch of rain we can get.

I understand storms on your side of the country can get just as bad. At least wet Washington state doesn't have to worry about droughts! keep safe

Don't meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup!

Actually most of eastern Washington is a desert, and we just came out of a drought. Almost all of Washington relies on the snow pack from the Cascade Mountains.

There is a huge water reservoir when going over Snoqualmie Pass on Hyw 90 that is finally full for since I can remember. Last year it was so low I thought it would dry up. This last spring when I drove by it there were whole trees underwater.

Well, I seemed to have weathered the rain though we got over an inch in six hours.
