Some forecasters are predicting winds along the coastline will hit 100
mph, (80-some knots), with seas up to 30-feet. That's up there in the
hurricane-force category, if I'm not mistaken.

Supposed to be calmed down by the weekend. I hope so, I'm ready for a
couple of days away from the dock. If it's blowing hard enough to raise
30-foot seas in the ocean, even in the relatively sheltered waters of
Puget Sound conditions will be impossible/impassible.


Sustained winds (not gusts) of 74 mph defines hurricane force.
100 mph sustained would make it equal to a minimum Cat 2.

I am curious. Has any Pacific hurricanes ever tracked up the coast as far
as you are and hit land?
