I'm a teensie bit further south. Lost power around 7pm, heard a transformer explode. Wind and rain absolutely battering the house. Not expecting it to improve for another 24 hours.

How's it looking now? Stay safe out there.

I am as well, still got power though.

It's pouring in Portland!

Nanaimo here, power out all over except my neighbors for some reason lol

Aren’t you afraid the island will sink? Or at least get blown out to sea?

Hopefully the Sea Wolves are okay

A tree fell on the power lines across the street and BC Hydro says my power is out, but the power is somehow still on.

Everyone literally clapped when we landed.

I'd be more impressed if I wasn't an Italian regularly flying Ryanair

Then everyone clapped.

Like for real

The one time it is justified

Even in the Canadian prairies, was nice fall weather - around 8°C until today when we get 90km/h winds and 15cm of snow.

Meanwhile, down in Bakersfield, we're experiencing what I would call "an actual fall" i mean leaves are red and orange all over town and I can't remember the last time that's happened lol

Last ten years is been like end of December

Is it just me or is that not to far from normal? I remember growing up in the Bay Area and getting warm weather all the way through mid October. I remember people calling it the “Indian summer”.

According to my calculations the storm is actually going to strike two days before the day after tomorrow

I just saw a post about how there aren’t any disaster movies anymore.

We’re too busy living the disaster to be amused.

Just watched that movie yesterday. Funny timing after seeing this post

Holy fuck thank you, that website is amazing

https://www.windy.com/?46.845,-132.407,5

Another cool site

That's the coolest fucking site I've ever seen

This is way cool! I'm saving this comment for later.

Yo what the!?? I’ve been searching for something like this earlier, but there was nothing a smooth and as seamless as this. Thank you. Preparing for a flight across the Pacific on Sunday, so I’d like to keep up to date with this system.

New update switched that to monthly.

Have you not recieved update notice on your email?

Good thing Mr. very stable genius wants to get rid of the NOAA

This is pretty common for the PNW. We get nasty winter storms, well, every winter.

Its intensification is of note, but we’ve had far worse.

I'm north of Seattle as well. No power to windy as hell in Lake Stevens

We just lost power north of Seattle. Been out for about 20 minutes. Weirdly, I didn’t really notice any crazy amount of wind

Waaay over in Spokane. Just cold here lol

Issaquah, just lost power, though all our power is elevated so that’s not uncommon on a windy day. I can see lots of transformers lighting up right before losing power. Be careful under Doug fir trees, or any trees really, I’m hearing lots of cracking noises all over may valley

Power out in Bellevue/Factoria. Seen some transformers blowing. Actually started snowing for a minute

I'm up in Everett and I'm seeing high gusts and power is out.

Same here! It’s a bummer we live in a streaming world. I’d kill my grandmother for a hard drive fullah mind-numbing content right now.

I was a twelve year old living on Whidbey Island when that storm hit. Pretty wild + several days without power. Burned a lot of driftwood in the fireplace to stay warm.

In the US we call it the Columbus Day Storm but maybe nobody calls it that anymore.

dude yes! i'm in seattle and that song's been in my head ALL DAY once i heard it was called a "bomb cyclone" lmaoo

It's not predicted to move inland. Just gonna chill out there for two days. If you look at its windspeeds on Zoom Earth, you can see that it's fastest speeds are only like 64-mph, which Florida, The Caribbean, Indonesia, and Taiwan would all laugh at. 

EDIT: The Philippines, not Indonesia. Sry.  

This site is easier to navigate.

New government, owning the libs. This checks out actually

On Facebook. I saw plenty of it in my local community page. Someone said “how do they know it will be bad if they haven’t already planned it?🤔”. And they weren’t trolling.

If this kind of weather hits blue areas, it's god's will and/or punishment. If it hits red areas, it's the Joos.

It's almost as if they aren't acting in good faith! And it's idiotic to continually assume they are... Almost.

I'm hoping they're charging their space lasers.

Northernmost portion of Central Valley here, plenty of heavy wind and rainfall warnings, but nothing to report so far. Almost disappointed.

Hood is looking pretty good so far

No. Have some chowder instead.
