Winds have already picked up. Staying home!

Is that thing developing an eye?

morganmghee.bsky.social•168 days ago

It absolutely is. It's about 200 miles wide on the inside, 1600 miles on the outside

Ghaa my BIL is driving home from our place in Bellingham WA to Point Arena on the Northern California coast at this very minute is it as bad as they are making it out to be?

morganmghee.bsky.social•168 days ago

Ohh, hope they find a hotel.

tonycava.bsky.social•167 days ago

BIL made it safely to his friends place in Seaside OR. He can sit it out there tomorrow if needed

It definitely is, all up and down the coast too (North Cali to British Columbia) huge wind gusts up to 70mph and apparently a weather bouy near the center of the storm got destroyed. I would not want to be anywhere near the beach right now

91mph at Cape Blanco

Looks impressive, but I'm in North Vancouver and we got a little wind and rain. These things are almost always over hyped.

Not living up to advance billing so far.

It’s a massive system. I’ve spent the past two days getting ready: culverts checked, wattles placed, ditches dug, gutters cleaned.

This is man made climate change

@cageyratfish.bsky.social check out these pics, they’re wild. (Hopefully you’re still warm.)

cageyratfish.bsky.social•167 days ago

Oh ya I've been watching those.

My power just went out a few min ago

kelporama.bsky.social•167 days ago

Waiting for it to go out here.

punkrockscience.bsky.social•167 days ago

I’m crossing my fingers it comes back soon!

cageyratfish.bsky.social•167 days ago

Me too I want to finish cooking my SOUP

might have to do that on my gas grill once the instant pot releases pressure

punkrockscience.bsky.social•167 days ago

Nooooo, the soup!

Ooooh, glad for the high res! I just now did the right-click and saved your large image from the first post with it. Very impressive storm and imagery.
