Seattle Storm of 06

We spent a few days in Seattle last week and after being there for 24 hours, the power disappeared. There are blogs about the storm and reports and all that info stuff. We had no idea how bad it was when it was happening. We were driving on the insterstate a bit before the power went out and couldn’t see when huge trucks would go by – the puddles were so deep.  We were really fortunate to make it home!  It is just about a week after the storm hit, and the reports say that some of the population won’t have power through the holidays. bah humbug. We were fortunate to spend the few days with the best of friends and family. We really just wanted to hang and watch movies…maybe next time.  We did get to spend a few hours with old friends and family after driving for a bit and finding a Thai restaurant that didn’t have a line down the street.  Target was open, only with generators, and it was packed!  Of course – where else would one want to be?  Since we were traveling, I only bought diapers and wipes , but if I had a huge suitcase with me…well..we know what would happen…
