I have lived near Portland for almost 30 years. Weather at the coast is always more intense than in the valley where I am at so you're going to see worse than me. But the recent series of high wind heavy rain storms are not normal. Our weather pattern is that "rain" is usually a heavy mist or sprinkle and it lasts several months. Like once every 3 or 4 years a storm comes down from Alaska and we get a couple of inches of snow in the valley.So we’ve been here for almost three weeks now. The first week the weather was awesome, mostly clear, some clouds and little to no rain. I get that’s not the norm, but this last week has been a complete s*show. A couple of decent days but three or four storms that brought wind gusts of 50+ (70+ last night and this morning), to the point where you can’t really go outside for many hours or near an entire day even. This can’t be the norm right? Both neighbors have portions of their fence down, which leads me to believe this is an anomaly of sorts. I mean, if it was like this all the time I would think people would build stronger fences or no fence at all.
