Portions of the Pacific Northwest experienced a massive windstorm last
night. (One million people in that region are presently without
power.) The following video captures a NWA jet aborting a landing in
favor of a go-around this morning after experiencing very gusty
conditions at Sea-Tac. Must have been fun to be in that plane!

The winds were horrible here all night. At one time there were about 1,473,00
people without power. We were without power most of the day, and it appears
that there are hundreds of thousands still without power. It may take five
days to a week to restore power in some areas.

We must have been lucky at that. We live way out in the sticks and we have
our power back already.

One small plane flipped over at Boeing Field and landed on two other planes.
And two more planes there were damaged. I could not reach Tacoma Narrows at
all; the roads were all blocked by fallen trees and the power was out in the
whole area.
