Living in Western Washington, people think its earthquakes that scare us the most but every year wind storms blow through and I sit terrified in the dark waiting for the boom to fall. Everyone in the neighborhood has had a tree hit or nearly hit their house.Oh, no kidding! I remember the blow we had when Clinton was inaugurated for his first term. And our place in Lacey was surounded by 150+ foot pine trees! The storm was so bad that it even took out the high voltage transmission lines that ran out by Yelm. Pretty much everything from Chehailus to Tacoma was blacked out.
When the lights went out my Mom and I were gathering some last minute supplies at the local Food Pavilion. We both found it kinda amusing when during that moment right after everything went black inside the supermarket, we heard one guy distinctly say, "Awww shit!"
