Saturday’s outage included this signal at Northeast 80th Street and Lake City Way Northeast.
Update 2 p.m.: The National Weather Service in Seattle just issued a wind advisory for gusts to 50 mph this afternoon.
TREES ARE PARTICULARLY PRONE TO DAMAGE THIS AFTERNOON SINCE IT
HAS BEEN SINCE LAST SPRING THAT WINDS HAVE BEEN THIS STRONG. TREES
STILL HAVE THEIR LEAVES SO WILL BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE WIND…
TREE LIMBS AND BRANCHES WILL BE KNOCKED OFF OF TREES.
SOME TREES MAY BE KNOCKED DOWN. FALLING BRANCHES MAY HIT POWER
LINES CAUSING POWER OUTAGES.
