[obol] Astoria checking in

[Mike Patterson]

Well, we got our wind storm.  Winds topped out at 41mph with 60mph
gusts.  Power went out at 09:20 and didn't come back on until 15:02.

I went out during the peak winds.  Trees were down on both roads 
out to the South Jetty and the south end of Ridge Rd.  A surprising
number of road signs were also taken out.

Visibility at Peter Iredale was low.

Lots of gulls at Wireless, most MEW GULLS, several BONAPARTE'S GULLS
were around and I saw a THAYER'S and a couple HERRINGS.
