You can doooo eeeit!!!!

I'm not sure why we have power when we're squarely in the map of the estimated 53,000 85,000 City Light customers who don't, but mine is not to question why. I am very saddened by this and thankful for our well-finished basement :(


Seattle Times - UPDATED 9:19 PM Thursday
Seattle woman dies after being trapped in flooded basement

A Seattle woman died after spending eight minutes in rising water after she became trapped in her basement while the room flooded, according the Seattle Fire Department.

The woman was stuck in the windowless utility room of her home in the 500 block of 30th Avenue East after floodwaters blocked the only door out and the water inched toward the ceiling, spokeswoman Helen Fitzpatrick said.

Firefighters pulled the woman out at about 5:30 p.m. by cutting a hole in the floor of the room above and pulling her through the ceiling of the basement.

Medics began CPR after the woman was rescued. She was transported to Harborview Medical Center, Fitzpatrick said. She died later Thursday evening.
