Complete power outage, Murkworks North

[solarbird]

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.

OUr power was out for about 12 hours, staring about mid-night and came back just after noon today(Friday).
Being in Seattle with SCL, real power outages are so rare and seldom last for any amount of time, that owning a generator isn't all that practical. This outage is the longest in my 27 years of being back in Seattle.
PSE and other outlaying service areas are not so lucky and are more prone to more and longer outages.

We're right on the fringe of each, between PSE and Seattle City Light. In fact, strictly speaking, we might actually be on SCL's grid - I know that where they turn off power to us is specifically on the SCL grid, even though we pay PSE because we're in their designated service area. So I figured that whereever we were, we were on the outermost fringes of either, and wouldn't get anything back until the end, but being a straight-shot pole-wise from Bothell Way gets us running again earlier, I guess.
