You can have the wind! Here in NE PDX we just got done with a week+ of the East wind, destroyed the tarps on the fire wood and it got wet. Wake up to the wind now, it's usually the wife waking me at 3:30 on 12/25, and see the wind reported at the airport at 31mph with gusts to 46mph!

HOLD ON FENCE!!!

Merry Christmas ALL!

It sounded like the Polar Express roaring thru the woods about 3 hours ago! I heard a tree snap and break off somewhere, need to check things out when it get's daylite. Thought for sure we'd lose the power! It appears to have been a "souwester" coming through?

There were whole trees laying in the road this morning on the way to work, one of them at least a 30 footer. It was a mess, debris all over the place!

Hey, I got a really nice, new trash can last night. I thought Santa brought it. Are you saying it was the wind?
