You have no clue how often these storms came earlier in history.

The "big one", Columbus Day storm October of 1962.

Winds clocked over 160 MPH.

Pacific Northwest.

I'll never forget it as a 10 year old on Vashon Island, Puget Sound.

In New England we can have double those outage numbers a couple times a year or more.

A nice Ice storm could be over 1M and weeks before many get it back on.

I would say for being right on the coast you are lucky they don't come often.

We get N'oreasters that come out of nowhere that can wreak havoc on the coastal areas and dump high winds and rain.

If you have some spare liquid please send over, we are severally short this summer and fall.

As pertaining to you bomb, it's a result of very warm SST North Pacific waters in the central and west and very cold SST in the Gulf of Alaska.
