10:46 AM: Our power just went out. Checking on the extent.
10:51 AM UPDATE: We’ll make this an overall storm update – also just received a text about trouble on the West Seattle Bridge, nothing on 911, though. Meantime, via Twitter and text, we hear power’s out in High Point – flickered in Fauntlee Hills and Fairmount Park area but didn’t go out. This is not on the new Seattle City Light outage tracker yet – we’ll see how long it takes to show up. We’ve also got someone driving around to see who’s out where – on California SW through Gatewood, it appears to be back around SW Holden; we’re checking 35th next.
11:06 AM UPDATE: We called City Light to be sure someone had reported this, since it’s still not on the outage tracker. The customer-service rep says it’s out in “patches” – 108 customers (each home/business is one “customer”) in this area. Most other areas checking in via comments here, Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail, say there were widespread “flickers” but the power stayed on for them.
11:23 AM UPDATE: The City Light outage tracker is showing this now (no cause or “estimated restoration time” yet). And this seems to be the only WS pocket right now, that same 108-customer count.
11:57 AM UPDATE: There are now two “pockets” listed by City Light in the West Seattle area, with more than 200 customers affected – besides this one, there’s a stretch immediately east of central Lincoln Park.
12 PM UPDATE: Our power just returned. But the windblown rain has just intensified …
