Mercer Mess

Mercer Island has been without power since a Thursday night storm left us with downed trees and powerlines.

This collection of trees fell like dominos, landing just inches from a neighbor's front window.

Our own backyard was not spared. A tree crashed through our fence in the middle of the night, leaving a mess but fortunately no damage to our house.

You're probably wondering: "where's the video?" Please be patient. Our DSL works, but only on a backup battery supply that we're trying hard to conserve. Hopefully the electricity will be back by early in the week and we can have a normal Christmas. Until then it's heavy sweaters, hats, and mittens -- and early bedtimes (daylight is from 8am to 4pm this time of year).
