Kitty Porn (and power outage)

We had our first power outage this morning, thanks to a windstorm overnight. It's been blustery all day, but luckily the power was only out an hour or so. That generator is worth its weight in gold, since we hadn't started the coffee pot yet. We were able to hang tough with a hot cuppa and a functioning computer (priorities!). Check out the lawn furniture! The wind shoved it right into the firepit.

Hurricane wind speeds??!!

Power is out at Seven Trees, and close to going out here at work. The winds are averaging 59mph with plenty of gusts over 70!!

Bellingham Bay Wind Chart Wind High 82.0mph on 11/15/06 11:55a

We might get some pics of the weather up, but hands are full making sure the critters and outbuildings stay intact. Right now our little greenhouse (aluminum frame and polycarbonate panels) is at risk for damage.

Meanwhile at work, it's gusting so hard that air is blowing down the plumbing vent pipes and making the sink and toilet bubble!

We'll post updates as we can....
