So on December 3rd, a Monday morning around 12 midnight 135mph winds blew trees & power-poles over here in western Washington.
Some people have been killed but I haven't heard much about it all yet.
Mudslides, huge flooding, trees ripped apart like toothpicks all lying on the ground,houses,vehicales, roadways, and trees lying on powerlines.
This town here was without power from 12 midnight Monday morning till 3:00am Saturday=today.
The national gaurd is here & I think FEMA is here too.


People helping people is a beautiful thing.
I do feel bad about something though.
I should've helped more than I did.
I been so busy this past week keeping this house warm & going,
neighbors house going, feeding & housing friends, hauling gas for people's generators, chopping wood, hauling wood.
My muscles are kinda tense & I think my shoulder & back are kinda fucked up.
(here's a hint - do not pick up huge chunks of tree by yourself)

Driftwood is thrown so high up onto the beach it is actually in the yards of the people who live near the ocean.

Their is still alot of clean up needing to be down.

Cold showers everyday, yeah my manhood took it well i think.
My thingy and balls were quite chilled tho I promise ya that.
But at least I had a shower everyday.

My buddy worked on the neighbors very old generator and got it running.
It kept my freezer froze & dvd player runnin movies @ night.

It wasn't so bad.
I did miss the computer/internet/pearl jam thingy.
I'll report back soon.
I am out, gotta go buy an axe handle, busted mine lastnight choppin wood in the dark.
That pissed me off.

    sounds to me like you helped as much as you could've...i wouldn't feel bad at all if i were you, though i understand the need to do more.

    hope everything works out okay :)
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    Yeah. You're too kind, Chadwick.

    I wondered where you were.

    What's goin on in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Chehalis, Centralia & other towns?

    chadwick, I saw the pictures of the mud and water on the news. It looks like there's a lot of damage.

    Wow, sorry to hear you got hit so bad. :( I know quite a bit of WA did. Bellingham was spared this round though. We got hit worse the last one. Glad to hear you're safe and were able to help and hope the cleanup doesn't take too long. :)

    Sorry Chadwick. It was my fault. I had a birthday wish for a massive storm so I could have the out of doors all to myself. :rolleyes: Mother Nature certainly came through.

    I had a great time playing in the rain. I'll try to make my wish a little more localized next year. ;):p
    Walking can be a real trip
