@waEMD @MtStHelensWA Floods and windstorms and lahars, oh my.

Quite vividly

Update at 6:50PM: » Increase to 70-80% chance for wind gusts of 40-50 mph across southwest Washington tonight. Saturated soils will produce scattered down trees and power outages across the region. » Strongest winds peak between 10 PM Tue and 4 AM Wed, likely around 12am.
