that's northwest weather for you, especially in winter. this one seems to have affected steam as well (valve hq is in bellevue, wa). did xbox live stay up? i haven't been on my 360 since the storm hit, and i know ms is based in redmond.

Yeah its been pretty crazy over here. Lots of people are goin crazy cause some gas stations are running out of gas. Roads are closed because of downed power lines, trees over the roads. Visiting my moms place cause shes got power but we still don't. One of the islands here won't have power for 8 days they say. And they got crews comming in from all over the country to help out.

Yeah I just got my power today and i live next to tacoma washington. *federal way*. Anyway We had our power gonef or about 2 days now. and only about 20 mins ago got it back. Puget power *main power source* lost 700,000 people without electricity and I've come to realize how much people depend on electricity. The temperature dropped down to 28 degrees last night i was in a thermal sleeping bag and my mom was under 5-10 blankets haha. But yeah Everyone should be ok for the most part. The islands got hit hard and they aren't supposed to get there power back for 5-10 days. as well as some other places. Its supposedly going to snow in alot of places today *even now its about 26 degrees out haha. Anyway I'm safe for the most part. Even though tomorrow i'll be offline cleaning downed trees and branches out of my front yard and my neighbors yards. Its just about a nightmare up here. Thank you all for worrying about us but us washingtonians are stronger then ya think =P hahahaha.So uh does that mean buddy goes easy on me because i haven't made any practices? haha. alright well Thanks again and see/talk to you all later.

Yeah well my moms auntie Glo's house got hit by a tree on mercer island. One of the harder hit areas. Thank god she was not hurt. They say mercer island won't be back up for at least another week. And half my apartment complex is up and the other half isn't Guess which half I'm in lol. yeah the one without power. Hopefully it will be back up soon. I'm just glad I have somewhere to stay with heat and power. THere are alot of people out there who are still in there homes without power. And the gas station lines are crazy.
