According to NWS reports, it looks we recorded 48mph in the Bellevue-Eastgate area. My antennas survived albeit got knocked around some. I had a 8ft size branch fall on top of one of my HF antenna legs. A shared fence got knocked down by the wind. The corner of the fence was my other leg attach point and the force of the moving branches probably kicked it down. It's not too bad.

My 17-ft VHF/UHF repeater antenna got knocked into the roof of the house (so just tilted a bit.) All in all it wasn't too bad. Will have a lot of backyard cleaning to do...

It's still blowing about 15-20mph right now but only about one gust every 30 min or so...

Frankly, I'm amazed that we didn't lose power. We had a couple of jolts right about 8pm but power stayed on...

Notes:

1. PSE has been very busy. A lot of power lines down and/or on fire. A few branches in the lines but most calls seem to be of the line down variety.

2. EPSCA has been crazy since about 7pm with accidents, house fires, etc. A lot of (false) alarm calls as well.

Yes, once the wind started dying down we went out and cut up some trees out of the road, and then when the power came back on ran a lot of false alarms...
