Reflexively, St. Louisians Line Up To Shake Fists at AmerenUE
Thousands in dark after Northwest storm:
    Residents of the Pacific Northwest struggled to stay warm Saturday after the worst windstorm in more than a decade knocked out power to more than 1.5 million homes and businesses and killed at least six people.

    More than 600,000 customers in Washington and Oregon still had no power Saturday, and utilities said some might have to wait into next week for their lights to go back on.
Me, I blame those who have sought out the devil of electricity and who now are dependent upon its snug snake-like embrace for their own survival and happiness. Also, I curse the Tennessee Valley Authority some 70 years later for bringing power to those outlying areas that could not hold it through the slightest adversity.

My daughter lives in Tacoma. She said it was a helluva windstorm, but she isn't without electricity. One of the lucky ones I guess.
