Good morning. We experienced a rather sucky (can there be a good one?) blackout all through the night. It started with some crazy thunder and lightning, lots of flickering electronics and then ZAP we were in the dark. I slept through the night and just before 6am some power came back.
Our utility company first reported 50,000 without power but by 11pm it tripled to 150,000.
Right after we lost power last night I smelled something burning/smoking. It took us awhile to find it but we found it - one of Nick's extra computers that we use as a media center got fried. We think it's just the power source/box thing. Turns out my laptop won't turn on at all and we've got a couple outlets that don't work at all.
We were able to start charging my almost dead cell phone, plug the fridge into a working outlet, iron my work pants and get me off to the ferry on time. Not too shabby. We'll see if the power situation gets better throughout the day.
Off to work now.

Guess you're out of the dark by now and enjoying your electric-filled life again! Received the CD of pics you sent. Thanks so much! I'm working on my next blog post now and plan to add a few of those pics. Check it out later....
