That event will always be with me because of the time I got to spend with my husband and my sister.
Was that the inauguration day storm when Clinton was first sworn into office? We lived in Issaquah then (Klahanie) and also lost power for five days - Tuesday to Saturday. We hung blankets over the doorways and spent all our time in the family room/dining nook and kitchen. Had a fireplace in the family room and we broke out our old Kerosun kerosene heater. Cooked on a camp stove outside. We had gas hot water so we had showers. All in all, it wasn't bad.

After Erika was born in 1998, I bought a 5k watt generator because the Plateau was notorious for power outages. They'd been undergrounding utilities, however, and I never had to use the generator. Still have it in my garage.
