On our way back from checking our house in Tacoma yesterday, the traffic lights were still out up here. It was snowing and still pretty windy, and we went by a couple different crews working to restore power. I thought about how miserable it can be trying to fix stuff when it is cold and you are in the open elements.
I wasn't expecting to get our power or internet back today. So I am very grateful to the linemen and rest of the crews working for PSE as well and hope they are able to get the rest of the system up as soon as possible.
It has been many years... maybe 12?? ..since our last major outage. After that week long experience we put in a generator system that keeps us happy during outages.
