Windpocalypse 2006

Holy crap. This has been quite the fall/winter weatherwise in Seattle, has it not? One of the worse windstorms ever, over a million people without power, flash flooding, some people losing their homes, and a few their lives.

And somehow, with all of that going on, the Spencers came out unscathed. Completely. We lost power for an hour the night of the storm and had to deal with the kids' disappointment of missing their last day of school before winter break, but that's it. Not even any branches to pick up. I'm almost afraid to post about it because I don't want the eye of Sauron to turn on us when we're hit by the next act of nature.

We're very thankful, and hope that all of our friends who are dealing with anything from minor inconveniences to all-out life disruptions are able to get back to some semblence of normal soon.

Good, glad you came through ok - the storm made the news over here, even!

This is so overwhelming... I guess the recent Seattle weather put the "natural" in metronatural. Here's a little comic relief?

See the interview with the guy who thought that new Seattle tagline up: http://peoplegeek.wordpress.com/2006/12/16/seattle-straight-but-very-gay-acting-2/
