Outage….it’s over.

Yep, the lights went out on the island last night at 5:45pm or so… the Department of Emergency Management said this, about an hour or two before they came back on (not sure what time it was but we already had the candles going – didn’t you?):
“The power outage was caused by a car accident on the mainland, and according to the OPALCO report as of 6:24 P.M. is affecting all of San Juan County, and portions of Snohomish, Whatcom, Skagit, and Island Counties in addition to the San Juans.”
