I'm trying to figure out if I can cancel soccer games for tomorrow so I can head out there to shoot ducks.
NOAA is pretty benign compared to Cliff Mass, but Cliff hasn't updated yet today.

Jb,
No we cancelled everything planned including a coho fishing trip and a bird hunting trip because we heed dire warnings when they come. I had the state's flooding warning system go off twice, once on the cell, once on the laptop. I also had KC letting us know of the flooding dangers as well as the mudslides, downed trees, and power line warning that may occur. So, like little idyocrocoides we ran home chopped fire wood, layed out power cables, got the backup generators ready to rock, and put the dogs inside, cuz it was possibly the worst ever storm a coming, again.
Six lousy leaves fell, the owl decoy still sits on the deck railing, and the creek didn''t rise. They did get everyone out buying groceries and the gas lines were jammed up last nite, but the wild weather as predicted up until 10:00 pm last night quietly slid on by. At 10:30 pm noaa backed off and moved the disaster warnings to Saturday, leaving last night's predictions nothing more than a fart in a spacesuit...
Being only half stupid, we will be leaving all our Friday night preparations in place through Sunday morning... Saturday my friend----after Saturday we will see if were in the clear------

There was a clam window for locals last night as the weather completely laid down for an hour on either side of low water. Anyone who was there got a BIG bonus.... LOTSA clams and virtually no competition. Now... dack to our scheduled stormy programming. You'd have to friggin nuts to show up this afternoon. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=lgx

The last time this happened was September 2013. The high water destroyed the Kalama River weir. So they built another for $2 million. Unless they pull it out in the next couple days, it will happen again.....
I can only hope!
Just got word that the stormwater took out the Nemah weir.... a third of it went downriver. Nearby Willapa River is flowing at 32X historic median flow right now... http://waterdata.usgs.gov/wa/nwis/uv/?site_no=12013500&PARAmeter_cd=00060,00065

Fridays dig was the calmest I've seen. Not a single breeze at the low tide. This storm was another media hype BS. Since I've lived here I have seen at least two stronger blows. Sounds like parts of orygun got slammed pretty good.
P.S Today was very doable too, just a little rain/sun/light breeze.
