Windy

Seattle is not known for spectacular weather events. Sure, it has the reputation of rain, but it's never portrayed as a violent rain, but rather a gloomy sedate form of wetness.This isn't really true, but it keeps people away. (In the summer it is locally known for spectacular weather)Today was a weird one for sure though. In fact we even got a warning about it from the weather service. It was forecast for rain and wind. Wind for real this time.Ok. So this isn't midwest wind, or hurricane wind.Seattle is soft.We got a downed power line (well, power feed to a house) in the trees.(Only 240V 2-phase... somewhat high energy, but not too dangerous)The funny thing is that this passes for severe weather.  :-PSome trees lost branches and parking lot trees (with shallow roots) tumbled. But that's really the extent of the event.So... windy.
