Autumn vengence

Mountains and marsh

People around here are still talking about a storm we had this past Tuesday. Gale force winds with plenty of rain packed a wallop. The ranger’s residence in the Dungeness Recreation Area was hit with a blast of wind that knocked about half the shingles off its roof and a tree came down on one of the campground restrooms. The park, located on the edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, had been closed in anticipation of the storm. People throughout Western Washington lost power. The storm moved on but colder weather has arrived in its wake.

  1. I was just reading about the storm. Sounds like one of our hurricanes! Love this photo, though, and thanks for your punny comment! 🙂

  2. It certainly was a strong storm – we got hit with 50 mph winds here in Bellingham, and well over 3 inches of rain. And now the cold weather – the frost never melted in our yard today – though it did in town. But I like the sunnier weather. We went for a drive and got pictures of Mt. Baker with the new snow – about 6 feet or more of it. The ski areas are open on the mountain.
