Wind storm tonight in Sooke already started. Tie down your things and hope you only lose power while you’re sleeping :)

Some 80km gusts this morning and monsoon-like rain! I didn’t catch the crazy wind gusts on video, but it woke me up out of a dead sleep and shook my house!

Tomorrow looks quite windy for the greater Sooke area, 70-80km/h gusts. Wonder if we will see our first wind warning of the season?

Good amount of rain happening on the south island right now. Power just flickered. How’s everyone else holding up?

Anyone feeling weird about how unseasonably warm it is in Greater Victoria right now? Fish haven’t even began to come up the river for spawning season yet and it’s still t-shirt and shorts weather each afternoon. Crazy to think this could be a new normal for October.

Deleted my Twitter/X accounts today, including my Sooke Weather one. I won't be going back there, so I hope everyone who was meant to follow me is already here :)

Back to the earthquakes
the recent felt earthquakes in southwest British Columbia are not so unusual. 1245 earthquakes (mostly offshore or smaller) have occurred in this region during the past year. The latest felt earthquakes don't tell us that a larger earthquake is more likely (or less likely) ⚒️🧪

Wind warning posted for our local area. Hi-Rez models show some 70 km gusts for this afternoon and we’re definitely seeing a pick up out here. Keep an eye out for fallen branches and debris, just in case the storm ends up stronger than anticipated.

Interesting. Models have calmed right down for our Monday storm. Good news I guess. I’m seeing Our Lady Peace tomorrow night in Victoria!
