grapeofdeathAnyone in Beaverton take a look outside the last few hours? It's insane!
I heard earlier today that there was going to be a big storm, but that usually means it's bad on the coast and the news channel has nothing better to hype about. It's been dumping buckets of rain for the past week, which is nothing new, but combined with the 50-70mph winds that are happening inland is having an interesting effect on the trees on our street.
We heard the first crash two hours ago. Luckily the tree came down in the middle of the street, the only problem causing a road block. Another came down an hour later much farther up our block, but I didn't bother to look.
About 20 minutes ago we heard a very large crash and what sounded like breaking glass. Three houses up the street two tree had come down in their yard, one taking out there whole deck and smashing in window, while the other is just leaning against the house for now. The roots of one of the trees reached the second story of the house. A fire truck came, but the tree still in the road is blocking them.
Three homes have been evacuated and most have lost power. This has been quite an interesting night.
