North Beach does OK

No power outages here reported during last night’s storm. Seems like it has blown through, high surf advisory remains.  From the county:

The National Weather Service has issued a High Wind Warning for the entire Washington Coast which ends at 10am Monday morning. There is also a High Surf Advisory issued for the entire Washington Coast ending 4pm Monday. Seas will peak at 20-25 feet.

At 2:30am on Monday, 1540 PUD customers were without power in South Aberdeen, East Grays Harbor County and in the Northern District in Quinault, Kalaloch, Axford Prarie, Neilton and E. Hoquiam Rd. As of 7am, all but 500 Northern District PUD customers have had their power restored.

Grays Harbor County Emergency Management will monitor the National Weather Service weather forecasts for up to the minute information.

Please use extreme caution on the beaches and while around rocks and jetties. DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK TO THE SEA! The high surf will cause waves to run great distances and could easily sweep a person from the beach or jetty. Be alert for debris such as trees and limbs washing up on the beaches. Rip currents and beach erosion are very common during these events.
