Windstorm Woes

My neighborhood in Redmond looked like a bomb had gone off last Friday morning, with trees down everywhere and power lines draped on the ground. While the trees have been largely chopped up (including the one that landed on my roof), we're now on Day 6 of no power. We're coping, but it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence about what will happen if we ever face a real disaster here in the Northwest . . .
