NCC10281982B Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 As some of you may know there was a major wind storm in western Washington 2 days ago. The stats I read on the power company website said 700,000 customers lost power, us included. My house did not suffer any damage from falling trees. Others in the neighborhood where less fortunate. Pics below. This was 2 blocks away. The tree crushed 1 house's garage and also hit the house next door. This is in the living room of my next door neighbor. The good news is the phones and hot water work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cold_snipe Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 you did get lucky, but too bad for your neighbors , luckily for us in vancouver, it wan't that bad. Especially since there are like no trees next to houses anywhere here, but it wasn't as bad here as in washington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 A couple of years ago, we had a tropical storm in our area that blew down a couple of trees. One of the trees in the mini-forest behind our house fell and missed my sister's room by literally a couple of feet. That was a close call.

LoArmistead Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 "And the fourth little piggy built his house out of vinyl. ... and the wolf huffed, and he puffed, and he BLEWWW the house down!" Glad they weren't hurt by the trees falling on their houses! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Still no power at home. Work had power as or about 6 last night. Power crews where working on my street today. I hope to have power within 2 days. Gang, the three little pigs references are not appreciated. according to the local radio (710kiro.com) People are dieing because of this. I am thankful for the camping experiences myself and my family has had to get us through this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
