The rose colour glasses are always Coke bottle thick for Whidbey
I was on the lookout for burning torches and a lynch mob going to work this morning. I was thinking there was about a 50% chance 3rd would go off fully today. Sounds like you guys got little patches of wind versus down south where it was solid. Glad you scored an hour of power 
Just going through all the pressure readings and forecast forum discussions to figure out where things fell short. That low filled much faster then predicted by all the models. Hopefully there's some correlation and something to take away for next time.
Better put on the glasses again for next Friday / Saturday
Cheers,
Chris
