Video for context (from a previous storm) — update for Sunday night…

Image description

Monday/Tuesday windstorm has trended down in intensity on the models, but it’s still enough to knock down trees and generally cause the standard amount of mayhem we see regularly during these events. 🌊 🌬️ 🌊

Tues/Wed there’s still a good chance the power could be out. But not 100% as we’re coming in around 55mph gusts. It’s a grey area really.

Winds are looking strong from midnight Monday into Tuesday morning. 🌬️ 🌲 ⚡️

Winds start at 40MPH from the south and then shift to West / Nw around midnight gusting to 55mph.

Wednesday our temps begin to fall and Thursday we’re not breaking freezing as high temp linger around 28F 🥶

Best case scenario we wake up Tuesday AM with utilities! 🤞

What do you do to prep for a windstorm? Here’s a few things I’ll do before one:

✅ full tank of gas in the car ✅ propane for generator and stoves ✅ devices charged, headlamps / candles out ✅ extension cords ready ✅ generator ready ✅ handheld scanner charged up (I monitor fire radio mostly) ✅ outdoor cooking stuff ready ✅ groceries for a few days (at least) ✅ non essentials (like beer/books/games)
