Ah man, yesterday's weather event brought torrential rain for hours on end (my basement and weight equipment is now sitting in a shallow puddle of water) and gusts to 45mph...which, with deciduous trees full of leaves, was enough for 20k+ power outages and two ravaged pumpkin plants.

Tonight, they're calling for the potential for the strongest September wind event in recorded meteorological history for the Seattle area with gusts to 60mph and storm force winds in Puget Sound. I've got to feel bad for all the local growers if the forecast verifies...but at least the season is coming to a close. Personally, I'm torn between a lifelong obsession with severe weather and wanting my flippin' pumpkin to reach 200lbs by Halloween, haha. Ah, who am I kidding; bring on the wind!
