...aand there's more

If you thought the forecast for last Friday was bleak, well, it's gotten worse.  Here's the trunk of Jane's 1965 Mustang full of our "winter" fenders:

Only three will fit

Indeed it is worse... the forecast for tonite is for 50 kt wind:
PZZ135-300500-
PUGET SOUND AND HOOD CANAL-
230 PM PDT SUN SEP 29 2013


...STORM WARNING IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT... TONIGHT...S WIND RISING TO 40 TO 50 KT THIS EVENING AND SHIFTING TO SW. WIND WAVES BUILDING TO 5 TO 8 FT. RAIN TURING TO SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT.
MON...S WIND 15 TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 2 TO 4 FT. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSTMS.
MON NIGHT...S WIND 15 TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 2 TO 4 FT. CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
TUE...S WIND 10 TO 20 KT. WIND WAVES 1 TO 3 FT.
TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED NIGHT...S WIND 5 TO 15 KT. WIND WAVES 1 OR 2 FT.
THU...NE WIND 10 KT. WIND WAVES 1 FT.
FRI...S WIND 10 KT. WIND WAVES 1 FT.

.
I should point out that the wind's potential to cause damage rises dramatically with the speed (by the square).  That is, as compared with 20 kt, wind of 40 kt has not twice, but four times the force of its 20 kt little brother.  It's gonna be lively here at the dock tonite.
