That is the Puget Sound Energy outage map this morning, with hundreds of thousands without power since Tuesday night.
The Cascade foothill communities like North Bend and Enumclaw (where our brother lives) really took the brunt of the storm, with 70 mph gusts that knocked out not just lines, but major transmission towers. They don't expect power to be restored in most of those areas until Saturday.
Anyway, I feel for all the folks with fridges and freezers stuffed with turkeys and holiday food. We are counting our blessings in Seattle, that's for sure.
