When the Homily is about Immunology

Our first Windstorm of the season

Well, it looks like it is on the way.

Check out the Marine forecast for Puget Sound:

TODAY...SW WIND 15 TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 2 TO 4 FT. SHOWERS.
.TONIGHT...S WIND 10 TO 15 KT...BECOMING 10 TO 20 KT AFTER
MIDNIGHT. WIND WAVES 1 TO 3 FT. CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE
EVENING...THEN RAIN LIKELY AFTER MIDNIGHT.
.THU...SE WIND 15 TO 25 KT...BECOMING SW 30 TO 40 KT IN THE
AFTERNOON. WIND WAVES 2 TO 4 FT... BUILDING TO 5 TO 7 FT IN THE
AFTERNOON.

Well that should make for an interesting ride home tomorrow. At this point though they are predicting 50mph gusts, which really isn't all that bad compared to what we got last December which was as high as 80mph inland. This is relatively common fare for the Pacific Northwest, but where we live now - surrounded by tall trees - off grid living needs to be anticipated.

Home tonight means: a final tally of flashlights, batteries, candles, wood, and water. Bring it on!
