A Truly Mighty Wind

On Thursday night we experienced the tail end of an extremely powerful low pressure system. The associated winds were incredibly strong, especially for Seattle, and there was a substantial amount of damage--big portions of the metro area are still without power. When I took Liam and our neighbor's boy Colin to preschool in the bike trailer yesterday, there were a couple of large-ish trees completely blocking the Burke-Gilman trail. At the preschool itself, half of their fence had been blown over! It's been quite an intense fall for weather.
