Rain shots over the weekend...

Any Radioactive debris?

Very nice pictures

I am hoping to move to the PNW next yr and look forward to be able to take some rain pics like yours.. thanks for sharing.

Be careful what you wish for... trust me. I spent all but the last few years in WA.

Any Radioactive debris?

I've heard that there is some background readings in a few of the items that have washed up. At one point it was showing up all up and down this part of the coast, but I never went out to the beach to see it. I'm from Florida originally, so the beaches here, to me, are beaches only in the Webster's definition of a land mass meeting an ocean. They're not a place you'd go swimming or get sun, even in the summertime.

Yeah, like Ted mentioned, it gets really old, really fast. I've lived here since 1998 having moved from the South. The summers are great if you don't like the heat, and the winters aren't horrible for snow. But the rain really gets you down after a few years, and we can get some nasty windstorms which can cover multiple states at one time. Just Google Pacific Northwest windstorms to see what I mean. And you always have to check for historical flood data when looking to build somewhere as plenty of new construction takes place in flood zones.

My first winter here, it rained every single day for 97 days straight. I'd thought I made a serious mistake to come here. Last winter wasn't too bad, we had plenty of spells of sun, only a couple of minor windstorms and no flooding.
