My toddler reports that atmospheric pressure in Snoqualmie has dropped since dinnertime as a line of storms approaches

If the internet has ever proven anything, it’s that no one loves to tear down veterans like veterans.
You should all be proud of your service. It doesn’t matter what job you did. What matters is that you answered the nation’s call when others wouldn’t.
I’m proud of you.

As someone who has been a part of many on-air breakdowns, this is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. No notes, it’s perfect.

When the lights go out, a whole world of heroes clicks into gear. 💡💪
While we’re searching for flashlights and candles, thousands of lineworkers, office staff, and emergency crews are heading straight into the storm. They work around the clock, high off the ground and in some of the toughest conditions imaginable, just to make sure our coffee pots brew and our heaters kick back on.
It’s more than just fixing wires; it’s about restoring safety and comfort to our community.
Next time you see a utility truck on your street, give them a wave or a thumbs up. A little appreciation goes a long way when you’re working 16-hour shifts in the wind,snow and rain! 🛠️🌧️

The last 787-8 test airplane completes its mission. See the final flight of ZA004 - flown by the same crew that began its flight-test journey for the #Dreamliner program.

24 hour rainfall totals ending 10 PM PST. A large swath of the Cascades has received 4 to 6" since late last night with the Olympics receiving nearly 7". The Olympic rain shadow kept amounts lower over the central Sound. A daily rainfall record was shattered at Bellingham. #wawx

UPDATE #5: Look at the quick work by our contractor last week removing the damaged Bullfrog Road overpass. Now our bridge engineers are designing the new westbound section. We’ll keep you posted on timeline and schedule for construction.
UPDATE #4: WB I-90 has REOPENED near Cle Elum following the removal of the damaged Bullfrog Road overpass. Crews worked nonstop overnight so we could reopen I-90 earlier than expected. Our bridge engineers are designing a new WB overpass. We'll keep you posted on next steps!

UPDATE #2: An emergency contractor will demolish the damaged Bullfrog Road overpass beginning Oct. 23. One lane of EB I-90 will be closed during demo from 6 p.m. Oct. 23 to 8 p.m. Oct. 25. WB I-90 expected to reopen early next week. Traffic is detoured at Exit 80.
UPDATE: I-90 remains closed WB at Exit 80 near Cle Elum after an oversized load struck the overpass. Travelers are being detoured around the closure at Exit 80 via the off- and on-ramp. Crews will be out today to assess the damage. @wspd6pio are investigating.

WB I-90 at the Bullfrog overpass is closed due to the overpass being struck by an oversized load.
Traffic will be backed up, but vehicles are able to use exit 80 to detour around the bridge and enter back onto I-90. Updates to follow as more info is obtained.
As someone who does the "blind squirrel in a forest" thing about once a decade, I find it infuriating when someone goes through the effort of saving my images and creating a new post just to ensure they get all the traffic.
Smash the retweet button, it's there for a reason.
Now that I have your attention please allow me to vent for a moment.
There are countless accounts on here (myself included) that go through the process of traveling, shooting, editing, and posting photos on here. These accounts are putting in work to show you the shots that you’ve never seen before… and yet they have a tiny fraction of the followers of some accounts that repost stuff they found online or outright steal from lesser known photographers.
Let’s try to change that. Stop following repost accounts. Start sharing and following the folks that actually make the effort to deliver photos that you’ve never seen before.
I don’t ask this often but if you could share and repost this, I would appreciate it.
Party on folks.

Two paths. One call of destiny.

.@HaloCollar the new style of magnetic charging clip sucks. My outdoor dog's collar has been connected for hours, but apparently I didn't balance things *just right* and it's only gotten to 26% at bedtime. Please switch back to a USB plug for a consistently solid connection.
.@Nanit where in the app is the option to disable this prompt? I will ALWAYS want to exit the app when I hit the button to exit the app, without having to answer a stupid question, especially at quarter to 2 in the morning.
.@flySEA my elderly mother just waited *an hour* for a wheelchair to be assisted through security and to the gate. This is inexcusable treatment of mobility-limited travelers.
Memories of the 2004 Indy 500; after storms caused delays all day, once the race finally ended @loucapwell and I followed a twister across the south side of Indy on our way home.

I once got called into my boss's office and reprimanded for tweeting that I'd had a shitty day at work and appreciated a funny tweet, and showed me a screen cap of my offending tweet.
The funny part is he had Outlook open on his other screen, and I could see ...
... an email from the department manager who had begun following me on here just a couple days before. What a coincidence.
Anyway, here's that awfully unprofessional tweet. I guess the lesson was supposed to be that things are never bad at work? Riiight.
