WEATHER, POWER OUTAGES, TRAFFIC: Stormy Tuesday morning updates
Good morning – it’s Tuesday, February 25, and strong wind has been pummeling our area all night.
WEATHER
The High Wind Warning alert remains in effect until 10 am. Otherwise, the forecast is for on-and-off rain, high in the low 50s. Today’s sunrise/sunset – 6:56 am and 5:48 pm.
POWER OUTAGES
6:08 AM: The Delridge/Thistle tree mentioned below has also just taken out power for 6,100 homes/businesses from Highland Park to White Center to South Park.
EARLIER: The Seattle City Light map shows scattered outages around the peninsula (as well as elsewhere in SCL territory) – the largest is about 500 customers in the Puget Ridge area, and about 200 around Alki Point, plus the 100-customer second Seaview outage noted earlier.
TRAFFIC TROUBLE, INCLUDING TREES
6 AM: The wind has brought down some trees that SDOT crews are dealing with; we’ve just heard a dispatch for a tree blocking Delridge/Thistle, while earlier tonight, one was reported on 35th near Holden (screenshot added).
