…that said, our power’s out and that means no heat and no tea. Brr! I write this from the comfort of my Sidekick in bed.
Last night’s windstorm featured, without a doubt, the highest winds I’ve ever experienced. We definitely lost a few roof tiles, maybe an attic vent cover, and an hour or so of sleep (I had to get out of bed to secure a fence gate that was baging around) but other than that, the chateau fetzlings held up great.

Not our roofing tiles! Wrong color for our roof. I believe they are our neighbors.

What, no black tea?! You guys go to enough outdoor parties that you gotta have a little camp stove buried in that basement somewhere…

Last night at 10:15 the power went out at the pub where I was imbibing, at which point the bartender announced: “We’re closed. Everything’s free.” Sweet, Sweet Mother Nature!

We were blacked out for seven days in the October Surprise storm that we got in Buffalo this year…
Hope yours comes back sooner than ours did.

OH NO! Let me know if you need to take showers or crash at our house!

Be glad you’re not on Mercer Island! Driving from the eastside to Seattle last night was so eerie — the island looks like a black hole, crazy dark. Our power blipped back on at 3am last night, just as I was lamenting our third day without. Sweet, sweet heat!
