Related: About this forumFinally got power back on. Out for 5 days
I wasnt home when it first went out. I had considered staying away but I figured theyd have it back on soon. Having to charge my phone in my car and the WiFi was out. Since so many people are under evacuation order it seemed like hotels were limited but I was about ready to go somewhere I could check in and get a shower and recharge everything, then it finally came back on about an hour ago. Its certainly a mess. The crew that fixed our power was from snohomish WA. Sky is stil brown and hazardous air warning in effect.

down and went and bought a smart phone but I persisted, just like you did! Stay safe!
