A blast of wind, that is. And rain.
The west coast is on alert for severe weather starting this afternoon, as we are in the path of a "Bomb Cyclone".
Meterologists call it a bombogenesis, which occurs when there is a rapid pressure drop. It will bring high winds and heavy rainfall to the coastal areas and snow in the mountains. Power outages are expected.
The initial blast will be followed by a days long "Atmospheric River" which will dump rain and may cause flooding, especially in northern California and southwest Oregon.
I'm not sure what the impact will be here in Puget Sound Country. We won't be comfortable if we have a long power outage, but we can manage.
I do know that it will be the last of the pretty leaves still on branches.
Interesting that your leaves turn to mush, ours never get mushy. Stay warm! We had a power outage last night it lasted a couple of hours.
ReplyDeleteHoping it will come soon and leave just as quickly.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it won't be as bad as the weather forecasters make it out to be. Just in case, though, our generator is prepped and ready.
ReplyDeleteStay safe.
Your forecast sounds pretty ugly. Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the storm isn't as bad as the forecasters are suggesting. Stay warm and dry!
ReplyDeleteI hope it passes you (and my daughter) by. Beautiful garden!
ReplyDeleteWe suddenly had a little snow today which is unusual.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well for you, stay safe inside! I love the red leaves colour so nice.
Saw video on TV News about the destruction and power outage. Hope you are ok.
ReplyDeleteOur friends lost power for several days from that cyclone. That was really scary.
