#wawx — Public Fediverse posts

Spotted departing Portland Int'l Airport #KPDX: FedEx MD-11 N522FE continuing to Seattle after diverting to Portland when thunderstorms tangled up the approaches to SEA. The same storms had hit PDX earlier in the day. There was just enough light to get a picture. Very few #MD11 aircraft remain in service, now almost all with FedEx. #aviation #cargo #avgeek #ORwx #WAwx #weather

@Nshrubs @sollat Went right over us NE of Redmond. Lightning, thunder, pounding rain and a bit of hail. Very little wind though. #WAwx #PNW

It is fun that September arrived and it was like someone pulled a big cartoon lever labeled FALL 😊🌧️🍂 #WAwx #Tacoma

We did! We got a LOT more than forecast, too. I think the last Wunderground forecast I saw was 4.3mm and we got 4.3 times that lol

#wawx #northshore #KingCounty

we are supposed to get rain tonight

but will we?

#wawx #northshore

21

time for regular numbers, not spelling them out after twenty

22? faint but I think real.

23, 24....

...and then quiet. It's quiet.

_Too_ quiet.

#wawx #northshore

yes, this, please continue

#wawx #northshore

twenty was quite loud! maybe the second loudest all day. But smooth, lacking that "what just exploded or crashed into something else or crashed into something else _and_ exploded" that seventeen had.

#wawx #northshore

nineteen also quite loud but nothing on seventeen

i've thrown an adjustment into my current solar battery experiment and am charging the backup batteries to 50% off mains power just in case

(and didn't just start now, started around 10 when this ramped up)

#wawx #northshore

For a fraction of a second I literally thought something - something big - crashed into something else also big. Like an airplane. Or at least a really big truck. Or an airplane _into_ a really big truck. Which given Kenmore Air's all-seaplane airport is theoretically even possible.

eighteen

#wawx #northshore

sixteen

this is a lot of regenerations

wow it is dark out lol xD

SEVENTEEN FUCK THAT WAS LOUD HOLY CRAP

#wawx #northshore

fourteen

still raining but slowly enough that my weather station can't tell, it says "rainy" which means "was raining recently, may again soon"

the next .25mm (if we get there) will kick it back to "rain" at 1.3mm/hour and update the total, there's a little spoon inside under a funnel that fills up and tips

fifteen goddamn

eta: no! it tipped but i guess it needs two tips within a certain time period. it just says "rainy" still, but has updated the total.

#wawx #northshore

thirteen

Seattle Times says it'll go through midday, which would help from a rain standpoint so if you're wrong please be lowballing, we need this rain

(don't need the lightning tho')

#wawx #northshore

hello, ten. ltns

eleven, twelve

we're up to 2mm of rain and it's still falling - but barely

#wawx #northshore

hopefully it goes a bit, we need it

#wawx #seattle #northshore

eight was serious went on a while, sonorous and determined

(if anyone's wondering why people are counting, this is more thunder than we usually get in a year. thunder used to make the news, even now it's unusual, and on-and-on like this even more so)

nine also had a lot to say but with less stamina

it did bring at least some rain back tho' so thank you nine good work

#wawx #northshore #GodsAreBowling

five

six

seven and that was a BIG one

#northshore #wawx #GodsAreBowling

it's dark enough that the lights are on out back

also

two more thunders since that one

gods are bowling

#wawx #seattle #northshore #thunderstorm

and another! dang this is a thunder Thunder THUNDER-fest!

#wawx #seattle #northshore

okay that's _definitely_ thunder at the north end of the lake

FROM WSDOT NORTH WA - Conditions look a little bit different between #Blaine and #Arlington. This is why it is important to check conditions not only where you are but where you are headed. Please make sure your car kit has been restocked & you’re ready for unexpected delays. #wawx
