[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Oct. 5—Another powerful early fall storm is threatening coastal Whatcom County with strong winds, heavy rain and possibly thunderstorms.

Scattered power outages are possible Tuesday, Oct. 5, from winds of 15-30 mph with gusts to 40-50 mph, according to an advisory issued early Tuesday.

Southeast winds will be the strongest across western Whatcom and Skagit counties and the San Juan Islands, the National Weather Service said online.

Scattered power outages are possible because most trees still have their leaves.

1. While extreme weather can leave physical damage,

it's relieving to know that rain is falling in October.

In northwest Oregon the weather is wet, and the extended forecast is for frequent rains of minor amounts. We're frankly relieved. We all need October rains in this part of the country.

2. Send some of that rain down south!

I'm in Southern Oregon and we are dry as a bone. A few small showers last week, but wells are dry, reservoirs are dry and the Irrigation District has been shut off for months. Farmers are struggling. We are hoping for a nice wet winter.
