You're right. The weather in the northwest is capricious, but damn does it look beautiful.

I get it. I sunk down to his level. Moving on.

Haha. Crazy. That was the one. That storm was NASTY. I experienced Hurricane Hugo in SC when I was young, but the ‘06 storm was the 2nd worst I’d ever been in & closely comparative.

In the early 2000s, me & a bunch of my DigiPen classmates decided to go to GDC. Unfortunately, we weren’t supplied tickets & no way our broke asses could afford one.

We went to Kinko’s & printed out a bunch of ‘press material’ for a non-existent website called OTG.com (Online Tactical Gaming). To our surprise, they…

Great. Please leave it.

Your statement smacks of whataboutism. What happened in Turkey has no bearing on the legitimacy of any election in Syria or anywhere else in the world.

You apparently haven't read through the comments.

Completely agree.

Same here. I expected people to die & was a bit surprised it was only 1. Also surprised it was this guy.

That's a good call. :) There was a real bad windstorm up here in '06. How bad was it in Portland?

“Who fucking cares what you’d call it?” I suppose an adult response would have made him reconsider his comment?

When I talk to a child, I talk on a level they can understand.

Ahh. I wasn't aware that adult conversation included smug self-righteousness. Thanks for correcting me.

Oof. The 2006 one was much worse, but I think this one was the worst since then. In 2006, I didn't have power for a week (though across the street at Microsoft, they did!!). Fittingly, this time I had power & they lost it for a day. :D

Agreed. But when the soil is soaked & a violent windstorm comes through, more trees fall down & those chances increase accordingly. This is why the mayor of Seattle issued a warning to stay indoors.

10 years ago or so, in a particularly bad windstorm a large branch speared my patio door & destroyed it. When the wind is heavy, I’m nervous walking under those huge fur trees.

Which is more dangerous than wilderness, because forests & other vegetation serve as a windbreak as well as promote soil stability.

If I were to go out in a hurricane & get swept away, I’d be going out in a dangerous situation. The guy didn’t ask for it nor did he deserve it, but placed himself in unnecessary, yet seemingly obvious, danger. It wasn’t just wind; it was gusts that approached hurricane intensity & pointing out the strength of the…

Don't douche so hard, guy.

That's actually a pretty impressive line-up.
