Bainbridge is prone to power outages, because our power lines are above ground and there are a lot of trees to fall down on them. But, this week the region was socked by a major wind storm that caused a massive power outage throughout Seattle (not just us folks who live in the woods). Over 700,000 people lost power. Of course, our home was no exception.
For three nights with below-freezing temperatures, our little family huddled under extra comforters while our home got down to 48 degrees. We lost some of our tropical fish and some of our food from the freezer...but otherwise we are none too worse for the wear.
