Ents attack Bill Gates

Lord of the Rings fans know the power of trees. Just like when the Ents attacked Saruman, so the trees here on Seattle's east side attacked us. And they won.
The good news is that this YR author came through the storm with his roof and Douglas Firs intact. The bad news is that we were off the grid for 68 hours. Which is a long time. Long enough to have the stuff in your refridgerator go off, and about 67 hours past internet withdrawl.

That's why we loaded up and made our way 204 miles to grandma's house since she was mostly outside the zone of destruction. She doesn't have internet, but she does have warm food.

One thing I noticed, I'm really, really unprepared for a multi-day emergency. What if this had been an earth quake? I'll leave it to the other YR authors to take it from there.
