[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 334216, member: 1723"] Actually, back in '06 there was a record low pressure system that came ashore in the Pac NW and served to wipe out power to over a million folks here. In the greater Seattle area alone there were over 600K without power, me among them! My outtage lasted 6 days, but some areas went several weeks. The way this system came on us was much like the conditions during a hurricane, using the data from the national weather folks. In short, it was a hurricane but they didn't call it that. And it kicked our asses. Don't believe me? [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah_Eve_wind_storm_of_2006]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah_Eve_wind_storm_of_2006[/url] All that to say I have a huge respect for high winds and what they can do. Since living here in the PacNW I've been part and parcel of many winter windstorms, and none of them have been pleasant. So in that vein I have much empathy for those in Karen's path, no matter what the so called classification. Bad ju-ju! :evil: Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
