In case you haven’t been watching, the Pacific NW got hammered last week with a big storm. Trees were knocked down, taking power and cable lines with them and blocking roads. We lost power for a day, internet for a week, and the main entrance to our neighborhood was blocked with fallen power cables and trees hanging dangerously over the roadway from the wreckage of the power wires.
To make things extra fun, a pump failed and my lot began to flood. I rented a portble to get the water level low enough so I could work on them and installed a new one on Monday. Good thing, as it is raining hard again today.
Today, the internet came back on and they cleared the road. For me, things are back to normal, but a week without internet was kind of a drag.
