Wow, the winds are really blowing today. There’s a High Wind Warning in effect with winds up to 75mph possible. The weather service described it as "a dynamic and dangerous storm" that has moved into the Central Bering Sea.
The power was down earlier this morning – about 5,200 people were without for a couple hours. Oddly enough, it was right here in this area where I work (and live) and yet the office wasn’t affected. Don’t know how we managed to avoid that one…
The really exciting place to live right now is False Pass. You might remember that I spent some time in False Pass last year during my job with the Census Bureau. They are experiencing winds exceeding 100 mph down there! I can just imagine how that must look.
"Damage reports include...public safety building roof partially blown off," the weather service reported. "Several other buildings have lost parts of their roofs and some have completely collapsed. At least 2 homes have completely lost their roofs. The medical clinic windows were blown out. A 4-wheeler spotted tumbling down the street."

ReplyDeleteOk, it might be a little breezy out when 500lb 4wheelers start moving around.
