Subject: RE: NW (US) Catters OK?
Much of Bellevue (east side of Seattle) is still without power today, Sunday, after the storm on Thursday night. Our favorite folk-music public radio station, KBCS, at Bellevue Community College has been doing a fantastic job keeping the music on the airwaves by operating a generator to keep the transmitter powered, while most of the lights are out and there is no heat. "Steaming is not working due to power outage! During the windstorm on Thursday night we lost power and are currently broadcasting with the help of a generator. Our dedicated volunteers are bringing you the music and news with just a few lights in the air-room, but no heat. We hope the station along with many people in the region will get the power restored soon."
But the music goes on!
Here's hoping!

Cheers, S. in Seattle (where things seem quite normal in spite of the fact that many people outside of Seattle are still in the dark and cold)
