IMHO, the 'burbers are going to have the worst time of it. Most of those folks out in Duvall & North Bend probably have woodstoves or fireplaces, so they can at least generate heat. Wouldn't be at all surprised if many of them have back-up generators as well, so no worries that the elk quarter in the chest deep-freezer will go bad until the power's back on. Plus, you know, rural folks are heartier, self-sufficient types anyway, so they're not as apt to complain about being severely inconvenienced for several days. Unlike those softies in their planned developments, who are most likely standing around shivering in their Gore-tex and Polar-Tec wondering if it's worth trying to drive down off the plateau to search of a drive-through Starbucks that isn't backed up for miles.

Thanks for the information - It's amazing how long these people have been without power.
