UPDATE: This is the view from Yuma, CO about 25 miles west of Wray. You can see the glow from nearby fires and the wind rocking the camera.
NEW: Nine fires are burning across rural Yuma County, Colorado. Winds to 50-60mph. Farmers being asked to bring tractors and disks to cut fire lines. No formal evacuations. Appears very fluid. Emergency managers telling people to evacuate for nearest town if fire approaches.

Thousands of pine trees flattened along Highway 83, SE of Kalispell. The highway is gradually being cleared of trees, power lines, and debris but most side roads are still inaccessible. Just an unbelievable wind event! #mtwx

This is nuts. Trump's HHS says reducing sudden infant deaths, improving teen and young adult health, preventing birth defects "no longer align with the Department’s mission or priorities.”

🍍WARMEST START TO DECEMBER EVER🍍 The first half of December was Seattle’s warmest on record (by average mean temperature), at 48.7 degrees. The old Dec. 1-15 record was 47.1 from 2014. That December is still Seattle’s all-time warmest (for now?)

Westerly gusts of 40-55 mph are expected late afternoon and overnight. Isolated gusts above 55 mph cannot be ruled out. The strongest winds will be across the coasts, high elevations, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. #WAwx

This situation seems to be improving. They are plugging the breach with sandbags right now. Flooding appears limited to the industrial park on the east side of the river. River is still running high, but things seem under control now. @komonews
🚨A levee on the Green River has failed, prompting immediate evacuation orders in the Orillia area of Tukwila, Kent, and Renton. We are headed to the area right now and I'll post updates here. https://t.co/iniqDFLLiV

One side of the bridge has calm water, and the other side is chaos.
Due to high winds approaching 65-75mph along the Hood Canal Bridge, it is now closed for the time being. Look how big those waves are on the WSDOT camera! #wawx
