The Calm Before The Storm
As I alluded to in my previous post, the weather is about to take a turn for the worse here. The nasty weather: high winds. It's the same kind of winds that knocked the power out yesterday, but these winds will be a bit stronger. This graphic I found on The Weather Channel website pretty much sums it up (note I live West of Seattle on the other side of the Puget Sound):
The "calm," if you can call it that, is on and off rain. The winds aren't too bad right now, but I expect that will change later in the day. I fully expect the power to go out sometime after the kids go to bed tonight, given that pretty much every time there's a serious windstorm here, we lose power. I fully expect chaos to ensue Friday morning. Good thing I've already got a day off scheduled for Friday already as well as the following Monday. It's going to be an interesting weekend...

Eeww.. yuck. You guys better wear your warm jammies. We have storms like that all the time.(East coast.. Chesapeake VA, to be exact) For some reason, every time the power goes Nathan gets all freaked out.. it's not like he's afraid of the dark or anything. Just a strange personal quirk I guess. Then he'll bring it up again at even stranger times.. like when it's 70, sunny and wind free "remember that time the power went out?" as he looks to the sky.. "which time" "you know, during that storm".. yeah. Kids are strange creatures.
