Just found you from “not martha”, and wanted to send some good-thoughts-from-a-stranger to you.

Thank you so much for this post. Like Jonniker, I also had no idea it was that bad there. Because of your photos and stories, I have a much better sense. (No wonder You were named Time Magazine Person of the Year.)

Safe and warm wishes to you and yours.

(I look forward to going through your blog — you had me at “floral, yet horrific.”)

Oh L. I had no idea it was that crazy. God, they did a crappy job of bringing that to us down here (one would never guess I work in the, uh, news business), for I had no idea how truly scary it was for you, I’m so sorry. And there I am asking you about bloody GEOCACHING. You were probably like, yeah, uh, SURE. I’ll be right out there geocaching among the debris. Thanks, bitch.

(Also? I had no idea about the grills either. Man, I hate to think that people are viewed as ‘Darwinian’ for trying to figure shit out.)

Also, there’s definately an overturned porta-potty at a construction site near my house. It makes me cringe and cracks me up each time I see it.

I, too, was mocking the weatherpeople (they cry “wolf” a whole lot up here!) and yet, was pretty sheepish-feeling on Friday when I had to go to Fred Meyer — running off a generator — to get some food I could eat that didn’t require cooking. And, I also felt pretty sheepish for not getting out our camping supplies from the garage, where I couldn’t SEE to get them on Friday, because we had no power… We will definately be preparing an emergency kit (hello, this was MINOR — what happens when we have an earthquake or Rainier finally blows??) and the wood-burning stove that is sitting in our garage? It will be installed in our living room. While I was rather cold on Friday, I was so thankful that I am pregnant and that I wasn’t having to stress about keeping a little one warm enough.

Wait until the next “big storm” is predicted — we’ll all be totally prepared, and nothing will happen. :)

Oops! Ashley, that was “power” not “poser”. . .

Wow. It was not so bad down here. Nothing like some time without power to make you think. Ours went out for about 10 seconds, and even that was enough to make me very grateful when it came back on. You guys have been through something, alright.

I have to admit, when it’s windy enough to worry about a tree coming through the roof, it crosses my mind that we should all sleep together. I have these morbid thoughts about which part of the house is safest based on the location of the trees.

Ashley, I hope your poser comes back much sooner than 5 days from now!

Pete–thanks for the information. I always thought we’d be able to rely on our gas fireplace to keep us warm during a power outage.

I am so glad you are ok, I thought about you when seeing the aftermath up here in Woodinville. We are still without Power, going on 6 days now. The power co. is saying the area we live in is one of the worst. Possibly 5 more days until we see power. A tree missed our house by less than 10ft, I feel incredibly fortunate to say the least. I am not sure I have ever been as scared as I was the night of the storm. The shit hitting our house was big and the sound it made terrifying. We FINALLY scored a generator so we have heat again. Our house dipped to below 45 and that is as low as our thermastat goes, who knows how cold it really was. Again, I am glad you are ok. Any thoughts and wishes for power in ou area are much appreciated.
