Love the archival photos. It's a harsh reality of living in the PNW that we live side by side with natural (and manmade) disasters. Wild fires every summer, drought, mud landslides, and the anticipation of the 'big' earthquake that will wipe us all out. Lots of our neighbours have generators for when we lose power; we haven't gone that far but we have candles and battery operated lights, a store of canned food and bottled water. Survival preparedness! It's a skill we all need to learn. Glad you're okay.

Thanks for sharing those preparations. Something you might want to look for are solar powered battery packs and chargers! Also a go-bag can’t hurt!
