Mornin' folkses...

Well... I'm back in Bellevue. Drove up last night. I had called my number, and the answering machine kicked on so I figured I had power back, which was true. I'd done this test yesterday late morning, and it ~didn't~ pick up.
The house here weathered the storm just fine. It's fully operational now. Cable is even back up.

But I drove through parts of Bellevue last night that ~still~ are dark. Mercer Island is still dark (that's the *really* high-rent district).
Power is on at the office, but apparently there's no heat. Not sure what's up with that.
See, it's usually the opposite for us. We're not worried about heat, we're worried about air conditioning and refrigeration.
I think the worst it got for us winter-wize was an ice storm in 2000. We lost power before the Super Bowl and didn't get it back on until some time on Tuesday.

Dang! Reached muh coffee limit for the day and I want MORE!
Amazing saga, you guys!!
I'm so glad you are all right...the generator was a blessing!
I imagine it's a very satisfying feeling to know that in a time of disaster, you can at least hold your own, including pets and even take care of your neighbor! I'm impressed!
Wow.
