Surviving the Storm  
It's insane in Western Washington! My power's been out since Thursday evening (at 9:50 - with 10 minutes left in The Office - grrrrr) and it may not comeback again until next week. Apparently a tree fell on a power line. =(

It's freezing at my house but luckily, right now, I'm staying at my grandparents house. YAY for heat, possibly stolen internet, and electricity to charge my iPod and cellphone!

I'll bitch more later. If I have internet access, that is.

OMG, I was just thinking about you! Down here near Portland we had one power outage on Thursday for half the night and another one that's just finished after about 3 hours. I was pulling my hair out just from those. I told my husband he'd have to drive me to the airport so I could recharge my laptop battery! ;)

Seriously, I hope you're up and running again soon. Keep warm!

Thanks for thinking of me! My power is finally back on. Four days is too long without electricity but I'm just happy it wasn't down for a week (which is what PSE had estimated for my area, this afternoon).

I really wish laptop batteries lasted longer. I was going to go to the library and charge all my stuff up again if this lasted much longer.

Was the weather very bad in Oregon? Unfortunately, I've only heard very local news for that past few days & don't know how wide spread the storming was.

Hope your power comes back soon!! Glad you can stay with your grandparents for now. :)

I think a tree fell on some power lines on a busy street near my house, so all the traffic lights stopped working. Makes driving not so fun.

*gives you electricity*

Yay my power's back on!

The roadways have been an adventure of sorts these past couple of days. Some people have been incredibly rude and I'm amazed at how many people don't understand that concept of intersections as 4-way/all-way stops.

Hope your traffic lights are better now. :)

YAY!

Yeah, I had the same problem! Stupid people not following basic traffic rules. *sigh*

They are!! As of this morning the streets are once again traffic light-ed. :)
