Nanuq Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 We've got a gnarly early winter storm tonight, with sustained winds ~100mph. Hang onto your hats, it's going to get ugly! The barometer is down to 944mb and dropping ... during hurricane Isaac is was around 968mb. YOWZA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Can't do that, smoke comes down the chimney and fills the house. Now the power is out and it looks like a war zone with power transformers blowing, making huge blue flashes in the rain clouds down the mountain. There's fresh snow on Suicide Peak right above me.

its_urabus Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I love how its nearly the end of the world up there and you spin a positive out of it, free fire wood, that's just great!
