Reply #5: We're completely without power on the east side -

[Madrone]

It went out just after I got up this morning. Our entire county is out. (Kittitas) I work for the telco so I'm at work, my laptop still has some battery and I built a wireless captive portal a year ago that's wired into the CO so I've got internet. We're running extension cords to the CO to tap into the generator as I speak - so I should be able to stay online all day - until it's time to go home and figure out WTF I'm going to do with no heat. I've got some animals I'm worried about, and an elderly neighbor that lives alone.

The guys were talking here this morning and the reports are that it could be at least 3 days before we have power.

My cell phone service is knocked out too.

Other than all THAT - no major wind damage. It's very cold though!
