It was crazy alright! Luckily our area only went about 10 hours without power before it was restored. Last I saw over a million lost power. There are still some places under Puget Sound Energy that still don't have power. PSE was preparing as soon as they heard about the storm though, they were ready to jump on it when the power went out. Additional crews were brought in and they worked over night as long as it was safe to do so. Last I heard though 9+ transmision lines went out, yikes! Tons of road closures. Last I heard 3 of the deaths were due to falling trees, 1 death due to a live wire that came down
At least in my area, wind storms and power outages seems to be at least a yearly thing. A lot of places have generators it seems, at least for their refrigerators/freezers so they don't lose food. At least if it ever got crazy my husband and I could always head to the military base, "Base stays powered, it's part of what base does" in his words! It sure can get windy up here, that's for sure.
Sorry about your car Felicia
Just glad you weren't in it, and that you're okay! Same goes to the rest of you!
