Here is the most recent planewatching thread that has become unstickied : Link
In regards to weather, If you turn off the military filter you can see normal commercial traffic so it certainly isn't because of the weather. The Military are not fair weather flyers.
for the one millionth time “geoengineering” and “cloud seeding”. yes, i know PNW gets frequent “natural” storms. therefore, no one would question the possibility of an “unnatural” storm in the area
Dude, the windstorm from the other night in the PNW was Staci Abrams sized. Felt like it was going to legit blow my house down. Was freaking crazy. Haven't felt winds like that before.
Oddly enough, as soon as the power was knocked out, things started dying down. Not saying anything, but go figure.
There are combat helpcopters up over Colorado Springs (BlackHawks) and a transport that looks like it's going there (ILNDR03 - https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae29fe). Cheyenne Mountain?
You’re not insane. It’s been talked about how it was dark so it’s possible things are happening now and we will start to all see lots of activity.
I know people keep saying this but seriously,
Enjoy The Show!

There are two Chinooks near Portland and 72151 (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae1fa6) is a Lakota that can be outfitted for Medivac.
Quite a few refuellers and I am sure other planes with no transponders.
Just a lot of activity after being dark all morning - or am I insane?

There have been min. 20 tankers up all day for weeks, maybe forever. There are several types of tankers. KC135, B762, C30J, etc
I know there are power outages

Oh shit, isn't there a Q post about rerouting planes or something? I remember reading it the other day and now my brain can't pull it from memory.
Texas added since yesterday
Click on the state and you will see it is much less dramatic
Cargo secured: Roger, rendezvous at HQ, over. Maverick has the ball
Currently looks pretty normal. After a few days you realize there are always a lot of every type of aircraft up.
Just struck me as odd that BOOM, there's all this up now and moving after it was empty over that whole area most of the morning
Although 325 military up is a bit high, more than the last few weeks
