Complete power outage, Murkworks North

The main storm hasn't even gotten here and our power is out, as is all of northern... and there goes southern... Kenmore. I think Woodinville still has power but I'm not sure. We're on battery now but that doesn't last long, so we're shutting down. See you when lights come back.

Right before we lost power at 10:30pm, we had the WEIRDEST brown-outs. The lights would dim down and the fan on my HEPA filter would spin down and back up, but the television and Tivo stayed on. This happened at least three or four times before *POOF* there it went.

Back up at 4:47am, weeha

Think capacitors. BIG ones. :-)

More likely, only one leg of the three-phase coming into the house was affected, and only items on that circuit.

I have to admit, it was *cool*. Well, until the power went completely out, that is.
