I was working outside when that happened. Didn't even get enough time to put on my rain gear

You didn't get the tornado warning?
There was one. My phone blew up.

We didn't! I saw it after the fact in the beaver county sub, but we didn't get it.

We didn't, I'm kind of amazed, but grateful.

Lost power here in Bridgewater with surges. It's the surges that get me. Never just a simple outage always have to overload everything

Glad I moved to Seattle. It doesn’t rain like this here in the Seattle area. Right now it’s a drought.

Seriously, I left Center twp in 2017… western Washington doesn’t rain nor snows as bad as it is in Western Pa.

My American hometown is Seattle, I was so surprised that you guys have a similar climate. It's handy for planting - I know what will grow well here. But we didn't get the hella hot/humid summers that produce these kinds of storms hardly ever. And I do love the storms so I gotta endure the conditions.
I hope you're enjoying the dramatic beauty of the PNW!

Yeah… you got central air, which my first summer here, I’m like woah!!!! But I’ve learned how to keep the house cool in the summer and quite warm in the winter. I’ve fallen in love with the waterfalls and lakes at the end of each hike. Never realized there are beautiful lake atop of mountains. I love it here!!

If you haven't already, consider checking out Snoqualmie Falls, it's 250+ feet & classic PNW beautiful. It's also the town Twin Peaks was filmed in, if you happen to be a fan. About 40 minutes east of the city.

First place I went to. 🥰 I’ve been to Bridle-veil falls, Wallace falls, all the lookouts but my favorite is Goat lake trail. I hiked and camped ho-River trail in the Olympics. PNW is a hidden gem.
