'07 winter storm, here on the coast, a Cyclone was swept up, with the typical winter storm track, they usually dont go this far north

Headland gusts to 100mph sustained winds about 3/4 of that .. I lived on the windward west slope then.

had to go into that to get back to My Apartment ,

fortunately I was on the leeward side of the hill, where the oldest part of town is.. for most of the route ,

had a few blocks tackling the around 70mph headwind .. that wind rattled the double pane picture window for a few days..

Fortunately the windowless, blank end of the apartment building, was what faced the storm directly..
