A few hours after the wind kicked up in a big way (as we noted on Twitter), the National Weather Service finally declared a “wind advisory” that’s in effect till 9 pm tonight. The NWS warns of gusts up to 50 mph. There’s already been one outage in West Seattle, fewer than 100 homes/businesses in Arbor Heights, just south of Roxbury and mostly east of 35th, recently restored according to the City Light tracker.

    I love a good wet/windy storm in Seattle.

    Glad to hear it, CB. Does that mean you’ll come change the turn-signal and brake lights on my wife’s car when she gets home? ;^>

    Coming your way! On the coast…and dang! Windy is an understatement. I’d say 50 mph on the beach. It was awesome.

    Those apartments don’t look very safe and I bet they cost a fortune

    They must be safe, they have been there since 1968. Great place to experience a storm. Bad place to carry groceries if you live on the outside end.

Sorry, comment time is over.
