Weather in NW Washington can be unpredictable

Weather in the northwest corner of Washington State (where I live) is typically predicable - grey skies, mild temperatures, a chance of rain, etc. What was forecast to be a mostly cloudy night tonihgt, with a chance of showers, has taken a turn for the weird. We've got a strange storm moving through the area, with heavy rains, lightning, storm drains overflowing, power brown-outs, etc. We'll see how long this lasts (a recent check of the National Weather Service short-term forecast said the thunder and lightning was supposed to start about a half-hour before it actually did - obviously, they were wrong in their predictions).

So, with lightning flashing all around, and my storm drains overflowing, I wish you a good night. Try to stay dry!
