On Thursday, December 14th the Seattle area experienced a pretty severe windstorm.   It was the most severe storm in the past 15 years.  Trees and power lines came down everywhere.  We were without electric power for a full 7 days.  Schools, churches, and businesses were forced to shut down as well.   Fortunately we were able to get a few lights and our furnace working through the help of a generator and some friends.   Everyone was excited to finally get full power back just a few days before Christmas.  What a relief.

Looking down our front driveway the morning after the storm.
