More than half the state lost power ... the most in any storm in state history ... and restoration has been slow due to impassable roads in some cases. More than 500,000 are still without power.<br /><br /> There's been some damage in both coastal and inland areas. Downed trees and wires and major flooding seem to be the culprits in the hardest hit areas. Other than the power outage, all we we had to contend with was some yard clean-up. We feel very fortunate. <br /><br />I think 'thehondohurricane' is in the eastern part of the state where most towns are reported to have 100% without power. I hope things are OK with him and all others affected!LaLaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614753577019280766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-15103445193240447152011-08-29T16:14:19.768-05:002011-08-29T16:14:19.768-05:00Yellowrocks:

Like Dodo, I put in the answers almost as fast as I could write.<br /><br />Hands up for turn rather than mesh, so that had to be erased. Some clues were filled in and I didn't see the answers until I read Argyle's great writeup.<br /><br />I liked the shoutout to my home town of Santa Clara. I lived there until I got married, then moved about 5 miles away to San Jose. We like where we live--a lot!<br /><br />Yakima was also a gimmee. We've traveled in that part of Washington on our way to trade shows on the Eastern border of the state. I also have cousins who live there.<br /><br />Have a great day everyone. I'm glad that our East Coast bloggers were pretty much spared from the wrath of Irene. Dennis had sandbagged his place and his business.
