In the last 2 years in Seattle I have been:

1) Stuck without electricity and blocked in at home by downed trees for 7 days straight.

2) Flooded out of getting home for 48 hours.

3) Snowed in on a mountain for three days unexpectedly.

That said I have benefited greatly from this site and thank you to all for great input.

Do you have any similar experiences?
