Hi,
A few posts ago I talked about how I showed up for the Harvest Party to find the lead custodian had to leave early. Well, turns out he's been under a lot of stress at home, in ministry, and then at work so he ended up stepping down from that position and I'm back to being Supervisor again. This is the busiest time for us so to try to hire and train someone now wouldn't work. I'm glad I took those couple months to rest while I had the chance! We'll look for new candidates after the first of the year.
Last night we made it through a Bomb Cyclone. I remember having one or two others in the years we've lived in Seattle but they are rare. And I think this one was the worst.

On the right you can see Washington, Oregon and Northern California
They said we had 75 MPH wind gusts, that's strong for this area. And we had so many downed trees. Our power went out around 8:30 last night and I hear a very sad, "Nooooo!" from downstairs. Beth and I got out the flashlights and she came upstairs to hang out with me. She doesn't like to be downstairs when the power's out.
About that time Chuck texted me. He was working - driving a city bus - when he came across a downed tree across the road. The police were already there so he stopped and called dispatch. Then he hears a large crack and a tree had fallen and hit the back of his bus! Thankfully he was in a 60 footer so he wasn't injured at all. The police came over and took pictures and then he waited until a metro supervisor arrived. He ended up not getting home until after midnight.

I know not everyone faired as well as we did. I was thanking the Lord for how good we had it. I've been watching the Weather Channel and it looks like the rest of the country is going through some storms. I pray you all stay safe!
