big storm--worst winds of the season

They are predicting many power outages as a result of the wind/rain. It has been pouring here all day--and from 2pm on, the nat'l weather service is putting out a high wind warning for this area of washington. I really hope we don't get our power cut off, but just in case, we've got duraflame logs! Those won't get us very far, though. I heard that an alarmist email went around that was saying things like make sure you have wood and food and plenty of cash (because credit cards won't work). It makes it sound like we are in for a hurricane or something. I guess the winds might be that bad--but I think they usually make it out to be worse than it is.

I postponed a dinner party I had planned for tonight so that everyone can be home safe before anything gets too bad. Luckily everyone is available for sunday night, so we rescheduled for then. Also luckily, we had not bought the fish yet, so no worries about it not keeping!
