Update 4 p.m. The National Weather Service Seattle office issued an alert for Pierce County:

HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF PENNIES IS LIKELY WITH THIS STORM…ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT DANGEROUS LIGHTNING.

It also issued an alert for the entire area this afternoon and tonight:

THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE INTENSE RAINFALL IN A SHORT PERIOD ANYWHERE ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON. A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD ALSO PRODUCE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS IN THE CENTRAL CASCADES THROUGH THIS EVENING.

—————————————————-

At noon, Maple Leaf appears to have retained power through this morning’s thunderstorm.That is not the case, though, for several neighborhoods around us.

About 70 customers remain without power from incidents that include lightning strikes and fallen trees, according to Seattle City Light.

They include folks just across Lake City Way at about Northeast 80th Street, in the University District, and up toward Pinehurst and Haller Lake.

The National Weather Service continues to forecast 90 to 100 percent chance of heavy rains into Friday afternoon. The Seattle office predicts 1.71 inches here by 5 p.m. Friday. (In Maple Leaf we’ve had 0.36 inches since 7 a.m.)

  1. Had a brief (less than a second) interruption around 8am. I imagine one of the links failed and the interruption was the system switching to reroute power over another leg.
