Storm of the Year
Last week a series of powerful wind storms hit the coasts of Washington
& Oregon, leaving the area with wide-spread damages & power outages.
About 10 people are dead in the aftermath. I live east of Seattle &
was without power for four days. I sat in the dark, listening to a
battery-powered radio, hearing about ordinary people getting thru so
many hardships & helping one another. After four day with no hot water
to take a shower, I went to an emergency shelter, which sent me to a
health club, offering free hot showers to all neighbors without power.
When I got home my power was back on. But there are still others who
won't have power back on for up to a month; including many elderly &
isolated; & thru the holiday season.
Those who want to help can call Red Cross in Seattle & Portland.
