Crazy Weather

After the extreme heat this year, we have another significant meteorological event hitting us this weekend.  There is a huge storm off the Pacific coast right now - and when I say huge, it is literally being called the strongest Northwest storm in history.  And apparently it's going to hit on Sunday night.  But as often seems to be the case round here, even the experts are not entirely sure where the storm will make landfall and what kind of impact it will have and where.  We can definitely expect rain - in fact, the forecast here has rain all the way through to next weekend, some of it very heavy.  But apparently the worst rain will be further south - the Bay Area is going to be hit hard.  But it's the winds that I'm more worried about.  They could be very strong, and they could wreck havoc.  Even with a little bit of wind a few days ago, the amount of tree debris coming down was substantial.  So if we get stronger winds, I fear some much biggest tree limbs, or indeed whole trees, coming down and causing a whole lot more disruption.  This is where living where I am surrounded by so many trees, not all of which seem in optimal health, is a bit disturbing.
