Wild and Woolly Weather

We continue to have some pretty crazy weather here in Seattle. Today we endured a strong thunderstorm which included heavy rain, hail and lightning. In fact my office building was struck by lightning at the same time as the Space Needle. You can see both in this photo from KOMO-TV.

Earlier in the day I noticed very loud sounds coming from outside because of high winds and rain. From some offices it seemed like a freight train was coming through. I understand this lightning was accompanied by quite a thunderstorm. Unfortunately I was busy training at the time and didn't notice the extra noise.

It looks like today or tomorrow will be the day that November 2006 sets the all-time record for wettest month in Seattle. If you want to read more about today's storm and the weather trends see KOMO's full story here.
