More rain on the way up?

My flight's boarding just got delayed 15 min due to lightning

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

It's suddenly very dark again. I don't like this!

 

[jb1234]

I hear thunder again.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

I hear thunder again.

yup same here. I'm starting to hear it rumble again.

 

[Mollymauk]

Red Hook is closing the brewery in Woodinville. I'm not a fan of Red Hook, but it was an institution there.

Hope someone ready to expand moves into it.

 

[Mortemis]

One minute you think maybe check out the beach, and the next minute you're getting shook by some loud ass thunder.

Fuck, April showers bring May showers.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

We're having a pretty awesome thunderstorm right now. Rolling booms across the sky and it's suddenly pouring rain.

 

[dLMN8R]

Man this is nuts!

The rain's stopped a few times and every time I get up to collect trash to take it out. 2 minutes later it's pouring rain again.

 

[jb1234]

It looks really striking outside.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Round 2 was A LOT more intense. Must have dumped at least an inch and a half of rain in about 20 minutes.

 

[jb1234]

I guess it depends where you're at. At least in Capitol Hill, I wasn't terribly impressed by Round 2 either.

 

[Stinkles]

It looks really striking outside.

PICS.

I'm flying over a flyover state.

Weather finally shows up that isn't cold gray and I miss the whole thing.

[finalflame]

Trying to get back to Cap Hill from Bellevue. Bus has been stopped east of 520 for like 20 minutes. gg

 

[grafcheyne]

Of course it would start raining absolute buckets once I got off the bus.

Yea a lot of power outage with street lights and shit.

Damn, really?

Red Hook was a fun place in the summer.

 

[jb1234]

Some last-minute lightning. Far more noticeable being dark.

 

[Pixels]

The world seems to be ending.

 

[Stinkles]

I just flew through that. Cool!

 

[Alchemy]

So much lightning out my window in Bellevue, the heck even is happening

 

[Stinkles]

They closed all the ramps at SeaTac because of the lightning. Stuck on tarmac.

 

[lastflowers]

Ouch.

In the other hand, reminds me of my youth. These are some awesome lightning bolts

 

[Evenball]

They closed all the ramps at SeaTac because of the lightning. Stuck on tarmac.

Me too. I landed about 40 minutes ago, and we're still stuck out here. It also took about an hour to take off.

 

[Red The Hunter]

I know the sounder was delayed by up to an hour because of the thunder, as they stopped at every station before Puyallup for a few minutes before moving slowly ahead.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Just landed at HNL. Sounds like we got out just in time even though we got delayed a little.

 

[Stinkles]

I had to get up at 4am to drive to Anacortes and it was as treacherous as I've seen in 15 years of driving here. Genuinely sketchy almost all the way to Burlington.

 

[finalflame]

Back to cold and overcast today boys. This is what I'm talking about.

 

[Trouble]

Back to cold and overcast today boys. This is what I'm talking about.

You should go live on the peninsula, I think you'd like it there.

Spoiler

I hope you like vampires and werewolves.

 

[Phthisis]

I like you.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

There's Olympic Peninsula and Kitsap Peninsula. The vampires and werewolves are over on Olympic Peninsula. Here on Kitsap Peninsula we only have nuclear submarines.

 

[Trouble]

There's Olympic Peninsula and Kitsap Peninsula. The vampires and werewolves are over on Olympic Peninsula. Here on Kitsap Peninsula we only have nuclear submarines.

I think it's safe to assume Olympic when someone just says 'the peninsula', isn't it? That's what I meant, anyways.

So apparently Murray isn't running for re-election

 

[Atenhaus]

So apparently Murray isn't running for re-election

Has it been confirmed?

 

[distantmantra]

Has it been confirmed?

He's supposedly going to hold a press conference early today.

 

[Mortemis]

So apparently Murray isn't running for re-election

Woah

 

[distantmantra]

Dow Constantine should run for mayor.

 

[Stinkles]

Dow Constantine should run for mayor.

I could dig that.

McGinn would be OK but he's tainted.

I just want a mayor who will push back on the development bullshit and take the Aurora corridor seriously as a solution and giant improvement to the city.

Aurora could be a grand, attractive tree-lined avenue leading to the city, instead of the longest prostitute boardwalk in America. There's your rational density and room for growth to the North, as well as a rational corridor for transit.

 

[Brakke]

Yeah he's saying he won't seek reelection at a press conference right now.

 

[Trouble]

Yeah he's saying he won't seek reelection at a press conference right now.

Oh wow.

”The allegations against me paint me in the worst historical portraits of a gay man," Murray said, surrounded by staffers and family, many of whom had tears in their eyes. ”The allegations against me are not true, and I say this with the deepest sincerity."

Murray said the mayor's race should be focused on city issues, including the homeless crisis, affordable housing, and development, not the child sex abuse allegations.

”The scandal surrounding them is hurting me and this city. It hurts people that have been victims of abuse, it hurts my family and it hurts Michael," he said, referring to his husband, Michael Shiosaki, who stood with him. Murray did not take questions from reporters.

I feel bad for Murray. I don't want to victim blame and paint the accusers as being coerced and up to no good, but I also hope that Murray is innocent.

 

[leroidys]

I don't want to presume guilt before he has a chance to defend himself in court, but there do seem to be somewhat of a critical mass of accusers.

 

[Stinkles]

I feel OK because I hated him before all of this.

But yeah, he should have his day in court and sex allegations are the worst cloud to be under.

 

[Darth Pinche]

I could see this coming. A few weeks back at the March for Science, when he came up to speak, you could feel the chill in the crowd. People just don't see him the same way now, so trying to fight for re-election would be totally uphill.

 

[distantmantra]

I feel OK because I hated him before all of this.

But yeah, he should have his day in court and sex allegations are the worst cloud to be under.

The shitty thing is, even if he is proven 100% without a doubt innocent, a good number of people will always view him that way.

Terrible situation all around. I hope, hope, hope he is innocent.

You like beer? You're super close to Cloudburst Brewing. They make some of the best IPAs in the state.

+1

Rob Roy makes great cocktails if that's more your thing.

 

[platypotamus]

The Cyclops is a fantastic dive bar on 1st and... Wall(?) that (when I worked in the area) always has Georgetown's Porter on tap, and that is the best beer ever.
