Windstorm In Progress

The National Weather Service had released a high wind warning for Seattle. It hasn't gotten quite that bad yet.

KOMO's weather page reports that there was a 47 mph gust at Sea-Tac at noon, and 57 mph at Alki (winds are always worst on the coast, of course).

There were some power outages this morning in Burien and in Monroe, but no more reported yet. Beware of falling trees, a Redmond driver is in the hospital after a tree fell on to his truck at 205th and Novelty Hill Rd.

Perhaps the worst is yet to come. The advisory ends at 4 pm, when according to NWS, "winds will diminish significantly."
