It's Super Bowl Sunday and the Seahawks are ready to strut their stuff. If they blow through the Steelers like the wind strom blew through Western Washington yesterday they will win hands down.

Yesterday, February 4th, we had a wind storm that hit the coast in the middle of the night Friday night and lasted in the Seattle area until around 4:00 PM. There were wind gusts up to 78 MPH and sustained winds around 30 to 40. While our lights flickered off and on all day we never totally lost power or sustained any damage at our house.

There were a lot of trees down around the state uprooted by a combination of soggy ground, we had 12" of rain in January, and the strong wind. There will be a number of people who will not get to see the Super Bowl unless they go somewhere that there is power.

Today the sun is supposed to come out and stick with us for about a week. That will be a welcome sight after the rainy winter we have encountered.

That's all the exciting news of the day. The only other thing to say is GO SEAHAWKS!
