I agree, I'm in the Pacific Northwest where we haven't had any rain for 3+ months until yesterday. A storm rolled in and took about 250,000+ power, blew down huge trees because all the leaves were still on.

Normally, we get these storms in the winter when trees are bare so getting one now makes those dry, top heavy trees blow over easier.

BUT, this winter, I'm expecting that we'll have some make-up storms and give us all the Wind and Rain that we really haven't had in several years in just a month or so. I would expect being without power for 3 days to 2 weeks in certain areas.

prepare so you are comfortable because nothing is worse than whiny kids and wife...
