Day 101: Short on kitty food, crow food and orange juice, I made my way to town today through a series of detours. Even major roads such as Hwy 161 are still closed by downed power lines and fallen trees, and many smaller side streets have had to be cleared by local residents with chain saws and winches. Today, the issues were exacerbated by wind gusts to 35 MPH which blew even more debris onto roadways. I saw branches and trees laying across lines in a number of locations, and sometimes driving was hazardous due to stub ends of sawn trees projecting into the traffic lane. Crews are working as fast as they can to restore power to the thousands of customers who are still without lights, a number which includes several of my friends.
