Yes, another storm is coming in with high winds and flooding. It's already blowing, but the main system will hit tonight, with predicted winds up to 50mph, gusts to 75. And Monday brings in an even stronger storm. (sighs) But hey, it's winter. We're prepared.

Going into town, everything was closed but the Forks Outfitters. Which is where everybody was going to get supplies. The main drag was very dark under even darker skies ... except for on bit of brightness. Dazzled By Twilight. Which was still open.

I suppose even sparkly vampires need supplies ...

Ah Hah! First Little Storm of the Season!

We're in the midst of our first storm. And the rain was coming down so hard and fast that, for a while, it looked like a snow storm out there.

After watching it for a few minutes, I tried to get a picture. But I missed the moment. (Sighs)

I really need to get a newer digital camera one day. My poor, 10 year old, Nikon takes 60+ seconds to warm up between photos, and man! It is frustrating to be standing there, going "Com'on! Com'on! Hurry up!" at it, and miss your photo opportunity just as it clicks on.

Gah.
But hey! Decent little storm! Pretty steady gusts in the high 40 mph. And rain too! What fun!
