Hurricanes Matthew and Nicole recently devestated areas of the Carribbean, Southeast US, and Bermuda. These events remind us that as much as we think we have mastered nature, we are still just an insignificant blip in history. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are in the middle of a train of storms. This is nothing new, but the intensity is unusual. Yesterday's storm spawned tornadoes in Oregon and today's storm is the remnants of a typhoon from the western Pacific. Hurricane force winds are expected along the coast, with rain by the bucket. Power outages and flooding are just hours away. Check out these web cams to see the storm unfolding:

The storm fizzled out. Rain at times, breezy afternoon.
