After 20 inches of rain in January... Which is double our annual rainfall, and after only having 3 inches of rain last year, a bunch of us our feeling moldy and damp... They promise us clearing next week, but only after the strongest storm of the season....
This is after the one that beat us to death last weekend, and the one in December in which it moved our Pressure treated 60lb picnic bench across the deck....
From the National Weather Service: These Strong South Winds Will Increase Overnight To 45 To 55 Mph With Gusts Of 80 To 90 Mph Especially Along Coastal Headlands And Beaches. Winds In The Coastal Communities Could Gust To 70 Mph OR Higher.
If Conditions Develop As Expected... The Ocean May Reach Low Lying Beachfront Structures... Cause Considerable Erosion Of Beaches... Flood Low Lying Roads And Waysides... And Toss Logs And Other Debris Off Beaches. Abnormally High Tides Will Also Cause Some Tidal Flooding Of Low Lying Areas Along Willapa Bay And Estuaries On The South Washington Coast And Low Lying Areas Along The Oregon Coast. Actual Tides Are Predicted To Reach Near 12 Feet Along The South Washington And North And Central Oregon Coast With The High Tide Around 515 AM Saturday Morning.
Plus we now have the potential to Flood due to High Seas..... I've currently recorded a 42.1mph wind gust stay tuned tomorrow for updates if we still have power and cable...
