What a week it's been in Portland Oregon ... we went from sunshine and nice days to a weekend of rain and wind and rain and rain and ... well you get the picture.
 |
| Just last Thursday it was Sunny Pearl District! |
And you know, every time we have one of these major storms roll through here and there are widespread power outages, I am reminded at how lucky I really am for living in downtown where, by law, power lines are underground. I can count on my one hand, the number of times the power has gone out over the last 15 years.
 |
| But the last several days it's been Gloomy Pearl District. :( |
All grey, all day, consecutive days of record-breaking rainfall -- having been in a hurricane
before, I'd say this is a lot like being on the edge of a hurricane with strong winds and heavy, constant rain.
 |
| So saturated, water just stays there in the tree well...and the storms aren't over yet. |
At least this isn't the coast where they more than doubled the rainfall in Portland and shattered (not just broke) all sorts of rainfall records.
