Awesome, I didnt know we were at the beginning of another El Nino cycle. The last one we went through I was almost 30 stories up building a highrise, rain, 30+ mph winds and 30* weather sucks for doing inspections and holding plans. This winter I happen to be starting a 38 storie

Well, we had some wind and some rain, but nothing extraordinary. Family in Kodiak told us they got hammered with lots of rain & high wind though. Here's a sat image from last night.
