petrea_mitchellPortland was under a high wind warning starting at 5pm yesterday. The forecasters were wrong; the wind actually picked up abruptly at 5:15. All our foliage survived fine, but on my walk this morning I came across this:
The wind is still blowing vigorously now, and the neighborhood is carpeted in leaves and small branches. The backyard ferals are unimpressed, though.
On the bright side, the wind plus some accident of topography has given this part of town a pocket of fresh air. It's the first time in several days that outdoors hasn't smelled faintly of smoke.
