    If you mean the time where Portland metro lost power for almost a week or so, and they boarded up the wall on waterfront, that was late 95 or early 96. I don't remember.

    Not sure it's over yet, although it's been overblown (no pun intended)

    Power out here in North Vancouver area. I guess all of North Portland is out of power with a tree landing on a transformer on Greeley and Killingsworth.

    According to my neighbor, my street in LO lost power for about 14 hours.

    Given the root system of coniferous trees, wind is always the scariest part of a storm in the PNW.

    Thanks for your concern, EL-P. We lost power twice with 30 minutes for about 10-15 seconds each time. Our numerous oak trees have lots a lot of leaves (the backpack blower will get a lot of use later this week), but all is good. Much of the appliances are gas, and we have four gas fireplaces in the house, so we'll stay plenty warmth if we do lose power.

    Pouring super-hard right now. Very gusty, too. But just loving sitting osu of the covered back deck and watching the rain come down.
