This is the sad truth: one of the Sussman family trees did not survive the weekend wind storm.
But at least we kept the lights on the whole time.
 We are thankful for that.
For at least 75,000 customers in Oregon and nearly 100,000 customers in Western Washington (including the Seattle area) the lights went out.
The storm was well forecast several days in advance and it followed a type of ‘classic’ wind storm track. Many of you have asked about the peak gusts where you were during the storm. Well, here are the comprehensive lists from the National Weather Service office in Portland (top) and the National Weather Service Office In Seattle (scroll down). These are long and a pretty crazy read!

Hi Bruce; those are pretty serious winds! Thank goodness, we missed most of the action here. (Vancouver, BC). We had some significant wind damage from a storm earlier in the week(on the 22nd) and I lost a limb of my cherry tree. Tonight we have to deal with the remnants of Tropical storm “Ana”.
Roland:
Glad you missed out on the windstorm!
And I noticed a lot of the moisture from ANA was headed your way–let us know if the rain amounts are worth commenting about!
Hope all is well,
Bruce
Bruce: It’s now after 12 noon on Tuesday. The precipitation here didn’t amount to all that much: About half an inch from showers. I don’t have reports of winds speeds available, but they were fairly light in my area. Nothing like last Wednesday morning.
Hello Bruce;
Just another day at the office. We never lost power over near the south side of Tanasbourne but the lights did a lot of flickering. I know deep down in my heart that PGE should have had more of the trees trimmed back. When I finally walked outside yesterday I could hear a chipper off in the distance. Now I see that “ANA” is going to come ashore tonight. It would be interesting to know what happened to the other typhoons and which way did they go. In other words, did they get sucked up into the arctic or some other direction? Or even better, I’ve found websites that record where those nasty hurricanes end up going. While serving my country in the US Navy I went to the North Atlantic. We actually went north and south off the coast of Norway about six times. It seemed like we’d hit these storms every time we were nearing that same latitude. Still working on my website. Tearing my hair out on a WordPress problem….
Thanks; Paul
Paul: what an adventure you have had in your life! You are right that all the moisture goes somewhere – in many cases it may lack jet stream support to get it quickly into another storm.
Sorry about the WordPress trouble. It is user friendly–most of the time, ha!
Let me know when this is up,
Bruce
