On what day was Chanukah Eve in 2006? What was the date of Inauguration Day in 1993? These names don't tell us anything but an approximation of the date. <br /><br />Why not just say "the storm of 2006"? Anyone who lived here will remember. <br /><br />So what will the name be of the October 15th, 2016 storm? The "National Doughnut Day Storm of 2016"? Oh wait, I just looked it up: this storm will be "The White Cane Safety Day storm of 2016".Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341888852057521004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-81424257792125139162016-10-14T15:13:31.514-07:002016-10-14T15:13:31.514-07:00Cliff,

You've got gas, canned goods, water, lights and batteries. You're goid. Big storm misses? You've still got gas, canned goods, water, lights and batteries, all of which can be used in day to day life or returned.<br /><br />No one is crying wolf in this case. There is a wolf out there.

His blog is primarily about significant tropical storms, so for this event to mentioned in his blog is noteworthy:<br /><br />Pacific Northwest bracing for the remnants of Typhoon Songda<br />Another high-latitude anomaly of the tropical type will make its presence felt in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and far southwest Canada this weekend. Typhoon Songda reached its peak intensity on Tuesday at an unusually far northerly latitude: 30.3°N in the Northwest Pacific, where it briefly became a super typhoon with top sustained winds of 150 mph. No longer classified as a tropical cyclone, Songda remained a powerful storm in the North Pacific on Thursday morning, whipping eastward through the North Pacific near the International Date Line with a central pressure of 996 millibars. Songda will be incorporated in a train of storms heading into the Pacific Northwest, and models agree that it will deepen at least into the 960 - 970 mb range as it approaches the Olympic Peninsula of Washington (or perhaps a bit further south, if the ECMWF model proves correct]. This is a classic set-up for very heavy rain and damaging winds across western Oregon and Washington, including the Seattle area. High wind warnings are already in effect from tonight to Friday for western Oregon and Washington, where gusts may reach 75 mph along the Oregon coast, 60 mph along the Washington coast, and 55 mph in the Seattle area. Even stronger winds are liable to materialize late Saturday and/or Sunday as the remnants of Songda approach. We’ll have more details on this potential major event on Friday.wff255https://www.blogger.com/profile/00000312515540408455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-463820371886042062016-10-13T07:41:30.929-07:002016-10-13T07:41:30.929-07:00Lol cool story!

THE MAIN IMPACTS WILL BE FROM <br />FLOOD-PRODUCING RAINFALL AND DAMAGING WINDS. ALONG THE COAST... <br />GIANT WAVES AND COASTAL FLOODING ARE POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND. <br />THE FIRST BIG INCREASE IN SOUTHERLY WIND WILL HAPPEN ON THE COAST <br />ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON...SPREADING INLAND ON THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS <br />WILL OCCUR FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A DEEP LOW CENTER THROUGH THE <br />REGION. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST HIGH WIND WARNINGS FOR DETAILS <br />ON THE THURSDAY NIGHT STORM. HEFTY RAINFALL TOTALS ARE EXPECTED <br />THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE: 1 TO <br />3 INCHES OVER THE INTERIOR LOWLANDS...2 TO 5 INCHES ALONG THE <br />COAST AND IN THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS...AND 4 TO 8 INCHES OVER THE <br />OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS. THIS WILL CAUSE RISES ON AREA RIVERS...WITH <br />FLOODING POSSIBLE ON A FEW. REFER TO THE LATEST FLOOD BULLETINS <br />FOR DETAILS. <br />FRIDAY WILL BE RAINY AND WINDY...BUT IT WILL SERVE AS A RELATIVE <br />LULL BEFORE A MORE POTENTIALLY DAMAGING STORM ON SATURDAY. <br />WE STILL HAVE MUCH TO LEARN ABOUT THE SATURDAY STORM. WHAT WE KNOW <br />IS THAT AN INCREDIBLY DEEP LOW PRESSURE CENTER...WITH ITS ORIGINS <br />TRACED BACK TO TYPHOON SONGDA IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC...WILL MOVE <br />INTO THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC AND PEAK IN STRENGTH ON SATURDAY. <br />WHAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IS EXACTLY WHAT TRACK THE LOW CENTER WILL <br />TAKE. THIS WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN HOW BADLY THIS STORM <br />IMPACTS WESTERN WASHINGTON. THERE IS A 1 IN 3 CHANCE OF THE LOW <br />CENTER DIRECTLY CROSSING SOME PART OF WESTERN WASHINGTON. THIS <br />WOULD BE A WORST CASE SCENARIO LEADING TO A HISTORICAL WINDSTORM <br />FOR NEARLY ALL OF WESTERN WASHINGTON THAT WOULD BE LONG <br />REMEMBERED. <br />THERE IS A 2 IN 3 CHANCE THAT THE LOW CENTER WILL PASS HUNDREDS OF <br />MILES OFF THE COAST...MAKING LANDFALL OVER CENTRAL OR NORTHERN <br />VANCOUVER ISLAND INSTEAD. THIS OUTCOME CONFINE THE MOST DAMAGING <br />WINDS TO THE COAST AND TO THE NORTH INTERIOR (AREAS NORTH OF <br />EVERETT)...BUT INLAND LOCATIONS SUCH AS THE PUGET SOUND REGION AND <br />THE I-5 CORRIDOR OF SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON WOULD EXPERIENCE THE TYPE <br />OF WINDSTORM THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED A FEW TIMES EACH <br />STORM SEASON. POWER OUTAGES AND TREE DAMAGE OVER INLAND LOCATIONS <br />WOULD BE LESS WIDESPREAD. <br />CHECK BACK REGULARLY FOR THE LATEST FORECASTS...WATCHES AND <br />WARNINGS. MAKE PREPARATIONS NOW FOR POWER OUTAGES...TREE <br />DAMAGE...AND OTHER IMPACTS.
