Sounds like it would be a good idea to make sure your flashlights batteries are good.
Also make sure to program in the Power company freqs. Tie down the antennas and
gas up the generator.

It sounds like the winds are going to pick up again tonight.

Power went out here about 5:30am but came back on after about 10 seconds.

Was just long enough to have to reset all the clocks. :evil:

Just watched the Weather Channel and they have a bulletin that says
Flood Watch for most of Western Washington. :roll:

We lost power here to, most of My clocks are atomic clocks with battery's I just Had to reset the oven and I could care less about the microwave, the thing that I hate is it takes the Directv about 20 Min. to reboot so I set here with my laptop hooked up to my cell phone while the power was out so that I could get on line. and waiting for Directv to reboot, man I remember when I was a kid who cared if power went out, now its a big deal all my toys need power.

We had pretty consistent winds in Bellevue/Lk Hills area early this morning. Kept me from sleepin! :evil:
I would guess between 30-40mph. You can tell when it gets fast cuz our trees make the wind sound like a freight train coming thru!

The freqs look good for PSE. I don't think they have changed much in 10yrs. 8)

My atomic clocks won't set until the AM station on 930 KHz drops down to
night time lower power. I think they are forgetting to switch at sunset lately because my clocks won't set until about 10:00 pm. It is located about 2 blocks west of me.

Did they ever figure out who pulled down KRKOs towers? Hmmm.... :mrgreen:
