Another update

96 hours and counting - without power. Heard on the news that the nearby sub station suffered a lot of damage and the ETA of power restoration is 1 - 3 days. Today there is around 300k total without power down from 1.5 million.

Thats progress.

Tonight is our first night back as a family in the house as a family. We have water and some heat and some light. Even some TV and internet. The nearest power is about 5 miles away. Outside all you can hear is the drone of generators.

So far so good - update more later

Below are some images from nearby - enjoy


The neighbors house holding up a tree - note the snapped tree.


Tree over the power lines - this is the only way in and out of my area.


Some small trees in my yard - mostly alders.
