Oh, The Wind and Rain

  • Post author:

It was a strange day today: torrential rain in the morning battered the petals off the fruit blossoms in the morning, and then by mid-day, it was a clear blue sky. The wind came back for a visit, though, knocking down a tree at 40th and Eastern, which in turn took out power for most of Wallingford.

Outage Map as of 4:00 PM

The initial outage map covered most of Wallingford into Green Lake, but people began reporting power coming back on over the next few hours. Just after 9:00 PM, the last bits seemed to clear up, and it seems they have everything restored as of now. Lucky thing, too, as folks on Facebook were reporting that the outage left people at the senior center stuck in elevators.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
