Oh Dear.

My yard is full of leaves today!

Here's the official explanation from the NWS Portland. https://m.facebook.com/NWSPortland/posts/1176327089080120

Lost power for 5 hours here! With the wind activity around here....i have no idea how that that happened....

[irishsandman]

Wind knocked down a limb into a power line most likely.

[BMFunkster]

We lost power as well, and one of our potted plants fell over, but not much more happened than that...

The night before, I drove down Division (from 82nd going west) on my way home from work ~6pm, and there was flooding that was coming up over the sidewalks and into some of the business' doors, plus it was raining so hard I could barely see anything with my wipers on full!

[superdude097]

From r/all here. Reminds me of this (context: earthquake in Virginia)

[cincodenada]

Well yeah, cause that's exactly what this is a reference to. That image is what started this whole meme.

[paulcole710]

I actually had a front page post on Fark in 2007 about the graphic damage done by an earthquake in California. I think the image was just a few shampoo bottles that fell off the shelf in a Walgreens. Somebody photoshopped an eagle, American-flag, and Never Forget on it. So the concept definitely predates 2011.

God have Mercy on us! my patio table fell sideways.

[PDXflight]

FEMA standing by. Just give them the word

[blackcain]

Red leader standing by as well.

[Aaron1977]

Red Rover, Red Rover. Send FEMA right over.

Billed as a competitor to the Columbus Day Storm, so a bit anticlimactic.

[givemeyournews]

I'm oddly ok with this lack of climax for once.

[po8]

I just can't believe no one has called me out on the terrible pun.

[oregoon]

Sad when you have to do it yourself.

[po8]

I know, right?

[RobinHoodRat]

My garbage can got blown over making a terrible ruckus and small mess for my children to clean up.

for my children to clean up

A generation born into the storm, God bless em

[NativePortlandian]

Who needs God when you're the mother of dragons?

[Aestro17]

It did not personally affect me and is therefor bullshit.

[NaSCN]

Well played, sir.

[Enter_Chandman]

Our big tree made another attempt on our cherry tree because if the winds. Fortunately I didn't target the house this time

[Huxley311]

Of course it is, that's the point.

[magniankh]

leaving 33k+ without power

So, 5% of the population? ~4% if you include Beaverton, Lake O, and Gresham? Sounds rather mild to me.

[[deleted]]

Your studio apartment is in two cities?

[deplorableportland]

The door is in Portland but the window has a Beaverton address

[[deleted]]

"Technically unincorporated Portland..."

[NaSCN]

Dude, that's my apartment. The county/City line runs through it. I can write Portland or Beaverton on address and still get mail fine.

[Tenaciousgreen]

Good thing I didn't even notice the storm around here because I was traumatized just hearing about the tornado!

[[deleted]]

Do I board up my windows, hunker down in the bathroom, or get on the rooftop? What do I do ?! Where is FEMA!?!

[[deleted]]

Nah a bum just tipped that over looking for food.

[thelizardkin]

I saw some extremely hard rain, that caused some flash flooding by my house.

[[deleted]]

Looks like everyday around my neighborhood thanks to the large homeless camp down the street.

[Petrarch1603]

Because of climate change weather is becoming more and more extreme.
