It's Murphy's law that I'm going to do little to no preparation and the whole bloody system will suddenly move south and knock the wind out of us (pun intended) and make things rather uncomfortable for awhile. Just watch....

Maybe I should run to the store?

Watching the radar this morning the "cyclone" had come north and was looking to hit Island and Whatcom county's head on. The weather that all came with it seemed to get divided by the Olympic Peninsula's mountains and deflected some of it into Seattle and Tacoma but most of it went west of us up across Victoria and Vancouver BC. So far we've had some decent wind gusts but nothing too bad, and just a handful of scattered small power outages.

Big storm that did create power outages. The hype is ok, just for prep to residents. Huff and puff and blow the house down is I think how it goes. But the city got through this first round.

I was surprised that the "bomb cyclone" didn't end up being much worse given the record low pressure recorded at it's core. It really looks like the Olympic mountains broke it up as it hit shore.
We've had much worse windstorms, this one gets:
