We have things secured, we go through a couple of these storms a year.
Those are just the gusts sustained wind speeds 25-40mph.

Chris and everyone else on the coast make sure you got those batteries replaced in the flashlight and radios. Sounds like you are going to get slammed tomorrow starting late morning. Hope everyone makes it okay!

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. We went for about 27 hours without cable or internet. Came back on last night. We'll see how long it stays on.
52 and no wind at the moment, but lots and lots of rain. Fortune tellers are saying we could have 30 to 40 MPH starting anytime now with up to 75 mph gusts this afternoon.

Nice thing about this house is that there are no trees within range of the house. The farm is a different story. Have some very big concerns about a big Ponderosa Pine and a huge maple tree. Both have the potential to do some major structural damage to buildings out there.
