Reply #14: We lucked out (knock on wood)...

[regnaD kciN]

Not only did no trees come down on our property (which is quite a change from past storms), but we only lost power for a few moments on four separate occasions at the height of the wind. We're in an approximately two-square-mile area that appears to be one of the few residential sections of southeast King County with power -- literally four blocks to the east of us, all is black. Drive in any direction, and for about a half-hour you'll see nothing but darkness.

(Hopefully, when they try reconnecting the power to everyone else, they won't blow out our circuits in the process.)
