Folks live on lopez island in what is now not allowed to be as close to the beach and got hit with a big storm and king tide a couple three years ago.

Yeah, lopez and all the island people are used to this. Most of the San Jaun islands have 0 cover.

Definitely some of the coolest islands in the world.

Folks are in mid 80s, not too many visits left so we go as often as we can and if we can afford it the float plane ride to fisherman's bay is fun. We typically ferry home due to weather out of the islands and catching flights home from SEA .

West Coast storm certainly blew east ... started the day in the low 50's and rain. Then the wind and the temp dropped 25 degrees in a little over an hour and the rain turned to sideways snow. Just got back from a dwelling fire ... we were able to save it from being a total loss. Best we can tell the wind caused a power surge into the house. The outside meter was burnt up and the panel box was a mess of melted wires and breakers. Contained the fire to a small area around the box. If we hadn't, the fire would have been unstoppable in the 50mph winds ...

Yes, temps are dropping like a toilet drain. Wide spread flooding is still around so I can't even imagine what might happen if it continues. Popcorn clouds have moved in...the passes are blizzards now. Low land snow is predicted next week. The saga continues.

Great work BTW, what area are you specifically talking about?

I've seen reports of eastern Washington...typically they are used to it but not much info flowing right now about that side of the mighty Cascade mountain ranges.

Thanks for the info.
