Windy

On Thursday night Seattle had the worst windstorm in recorded history, and millions of people are out of power for "days" (including me).

Supposedly about half of the customers have had their power reconnected as of Saturday afternoon, but my neighborhood is still out.  I wouldn't be surprised if it's not fixed until Monday or later.

Yesterday I hung out with friends who were also stranded without power, but today my hot water was all gone so I had to come in to work to take a shower and get internet access.

Smashed car

Trees and fences are down all over the place.  A car across from me in the parking lot got smashed.

Redmond Traffic

Finally, an answer to the question, "Redmond rush-hour traffic: could it possibly be any worse?"  Answer: "Yes, the power to all the streetlights could always go out."

Car Battery Light

Cooking dinner by the light of a car battery at Dave's house.

Filesystem Corruption

Ah, the joys of filesystem corruption

  1. Wow, that’s intense… I don’t know what to say >.

  2. I hope everything gets back to normality soon! I have a colleague in Portland who was hit in a similar way. His home antenna mast for TV and internet was blown down and the power was out at the office, so he logged in from his wife’s clinic, where they had power.

  3. I am so sorry that you are still without power. That is certainly no fun, especially now after three days! I hope that it gets back on very soon!
