Here in Duckberg (aka Portland)
So last week we're in WDW and added a hurricane to my personal list of natural disasters I've experienced. Said list includes, earthquakes, tornado, forest fires and even a volcanic eruption.
We got home last Saturday, to discover that this weekend ( well Thursday - Tuesday actually) were supposed to have a series of storms come through the Northwest that will rival the winds we had from Matthew last week in Orlando. Expecting 75-100mph wind on the coast (that's hurricane force, but not technically a hurricane since these aren't "tropical" systems. Po-taa-to, po-tah-to). 40-60mph winds in Portland (we're 60mi inland).
Watching Matthew from my room at the Poly was neat. Hunkered down for 6 days at my own house when the power goes out (and it probably will) isn't nearly as interesting. We get these storms often enough that this isn't exactly unusual, but still.
Bother
