Thousands in Dark After Northwest Storm

Thousands in Dark After Northwest Storm

Sunday December 17, 2006 10:16 AM

SEATTLE (AP) - 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.

Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire declared a state of emergency, and with temperatures expected to drop over the weekend, officials warned people not to use outdoor grills, propane heaters or other carbon monoxide-producing equipment indoors.

Firefighters in Kent found 33 people from four families suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning Friday night, fire Capt. Kyle Ohashi said. They had taken their barbecues inside to cook or heat their apartments as temperatures dipped into the 30s.

Not familure with any of them.. will have to do a little research..

Instaead of anoth chat.. how about we just use normal IM's or setup a jabber server?
and if we use say trillian it wont matter what client most people are with..

..

The Main Pages are Done : Feedback Wanted

There are two pages to the Main Portal template
which will lead into the sub-domains...


























































































All that is left to do on these pages is connect the links, ad the Adsense ads, add the messages from fox and mg, and upload to the site...

Hi mg,

"I need to talk about this....not being anal but the end project. Is there any...ANY faster way than in the blog or PMs on AO???"

I'm assuming you're talking about the forums??? or...the website??? or...my intentions/plans for both???

I realize PM's and the blogs are a slow form of communication but right now that's all we have. It doesn't look like I'm ever going to be able to access the forums where they are...even tried to go through an on-line proxy...and still got locked out.

So...if you have any questions...or want to discuss possibilities...it looks like our options right now are somewhat limited.

Eg ;)

Hi mg,

Well...not for me...I'm still locked out...cleared cache...clicked log-on, messages, Idle Chat, members, and every time was redirected to the screenshot posted below.

Still only have access to veiw the front page...whatever he did...on purpose or by sheer stupidity..he should box, market and sell it to places like AO to keep out the trolls..talk about a SPECtacular solution :D

Eg ;)

EDIT: cleared cache again...tried your link in the PM...still same.
