What a storm!
I live in the Seattle area and this past weekend we experienced a major wind storm. We had winds ranging from 60 MPH to 90 MPH. As you can imagine major power outage in the area and even after 5 days there are still 200,000 homes without power. I personally lost power for 3 days.
This storm reminded me about how dependent we are on power. Also, with temperatures dipping to below freezing at night, it was a once in a life time experience. I sympathize with all the families that still don't have power.
Best part of the power outage was the outpouring of help from every corner. Suddenly there was a sense of community, neighbors were helping each other, strangers were offering help and in general it was great to see the outpouring of kindness. I will write more once I'm completely back on my feet.
