Must be Hell there when it Rains
When in Seattle I lived in Newcastle and could see Mercer Island from my back deck. Every time there was a storm half or all of the island would go dark.
I’m in rural KY and have had some of the most amazing storms I’ve ever seen. Lightning striking every second or two for HOURS. Rain like a hurricane. Absolutley NO underground wiring. I did take a slight lightning strike and lost an external hard drive and had to reload windows xp on one comptuer, but i got one of those big surge protector bricks with a battery to protect everything now.
But in the last three years, that thing yesterday was the only time our power ever went out.
