| Name | Rich W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I hope the date is correct. I work nights and now a few nights out I can't remember if it was the 26th or 27th. It was definitely close to 03:25 a.m., PDT. If I hold my hand outstretched and hold it up like a "stop" sign, it appeared to be about as big as my pinkie nail. I'm sure that my perspective is all wrong, but if it was going to impact, it seemed like it could hit anywhere from the San Juan Islands to the Pacific east of Vancouver Island. |
