Stayed up all night watching this witchy storm, winds howling like a wolf. electric blue regions flashed as far as I could see from horizon to horizon. Ball lightning flashed close to the ground. Local grid windblown and and possibly static-fried. Power outage still widespread. Any other reports?
At the moment suspect the solar magnetic impact, magnetopause compressed, layers distorted, jetstream closer to surface.

I have two kids in your neck of the woods. One is in Seattle--Magnolia area, and the other is in Kirkland. The one in Magnolia has power, the Kirkland one apparently doesn't. Nasty business, that storm.
Anyhow, glad to hear that you are doing well after the storm. |

I saw the same thing to the north in Vancouver. Those continuous lightning events were very strange and I too thought that they had something to do with the magnetic storm - never saw anything like it during a storm hereabouts, have seen similar events in footage of tornados.
Funny thing the newspaper explained them away as power lines blowing out. I didnt think this would light up the sky in the manner it did. |

I lived in Seattle for maany years and about every decade or so you get a storm like this.
The blue flashes were caused by wires breaking and shorting, not some arcane solar influence.
It is called weather, folks, and it happens all the time in all sorts of flavors.
It is a bear to clean up after such a storm. My best wishes to all who survived it.

Personally witnessed the "blue arc" as the transformers blew and wires snapped. In my area, when one unit would blow the rest would explode one by one right down the line. |

these blue areas seemed above the weather vast areas actually in all directions --the rain more or less stopped after the wind, some drops, mostly howling wind.
Local weather cited the descent of the jet stream.
Dunno, just reporting what we saw here. I did wonder about the blowing wires, but it was way up. If mundane it was sheet lightning, no sound.

It's about the blue and the gold. chill 
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

My observation the same as yours in regards to the blue lightning/flashes in the sky, from Vancouver BC. The wind had diminished and the power was back on when I noticed these as I was driving home around 5:45 pm. This was on Tuesday when the storm previous to Thursday/Friday's blew through. Many people noticed it around here and they are wondering what it was.
I can't, nor others I was talking to remember anything like that. Just speculation as to what it coud have been.
It is NOT weather as usual as another poster stated, or we wouldn't be talking about it. |

The odd thing is the power started flickering out long before the strong winds hit, so yeah, I believe much of the power outages were not caused by the wind. |

central willamette valley, oregon. rural. power went out at 7p thurs 12.13, still out with no end in sight. phone line still work tho. dial up is slow but steady. blue flashes in distance all night during storm from urban areas(mb transfromers blowing?) however 3 or 4 huge blue bright flashes during the course of the evening like lightening, with strange, one- tone rolling thunder that you could feel lasting 1+ minutes after each flash. possibly tied to CME that hit earth earlier in the day? weird tho, 11 years + 1 DAY since oregon had its last big-damage blow: dec 12, 1995. weird coincidence? |

I thought that was very odd too. Our lights went out at 8pm even before the high winds hit the area.
My daughter asked me if the electro magnetic wave from the sun might super fuel this storm. I didn't know how to answer that.
I too saw the blue flashes repeatedly and thought at first it was transformers blowing, but generally you hear that big AUNKH noise that goes with it and I didn't hear that at all. As the night wore on I kept seeing strange lights outside. I thought it was cars going down the road but no cars to be seen. I couldn't figure out what those lights were and mentioned it but no one else could figure it out either.
Tis true, it was a very interesting night. |

Vancouver, BC. I saw similar things. Like sheet lightening - doing a blue strobe-light thing. Very weird. Shreiking winds - trees blown all over the place.
They've steered the jet stream closer to earth.
I think it's HAARP as much as 'solar' activity.

Lightning storms arn't the only anomaly lately, recently we here in Maryland had some medium strength warm showers on a cold day that were followed by a dramatic temperature change and fog that lasted over 2 days.
The fog was so bad that we had about 10 feet of visibility in lighted areas, street signs were unreadable, there were all kinds of accidents in my area and, I have no idea how they do it in the fog, lots of emergency vehicles barreling down the main road by where I live.
Edit:
Has anyone here played the silent hill games? remember the fog in that? Ours was WORSE.
The truth is a complex grid of simple observations, to know the truth you must find it yourself as no one can explain it to you.
Some can show you it.
Some can even tell you where to look.
But it is always there, in front of you waiting to be found. |
