The Long Ride Home

Last night it took me 2 1/2 hours to get home. Normally, the drive from Redmond to Seattle is about 37 minutes. In bad traffic it can be up to 1 1/2 hrs...but 2 1/2!?!? It wasn't just me, on the way the traffic report included: high winds, heavy rain, huge puddles on the highway causing stalls, downed trees (on the highway!), accidents, crazy Seahawks fans trying to get to the game, a power pole on fire, a guy getting out of his car on the highway and wading into waist deep water...it was nuts.

When I woke up this morning I heard that the 520 bridge was closed, Redmond, Bellevue, parts of Seattle...ONE MILLION PEOPLE have no power. I am working from home!
