UPDATE at 11 p.m. Seattle City Light reports that power has been restored in Queen Anne and Magnolia. The area on 31st Ave West was blocked off during the outage between Bertona and Dravus and a number of blocks in the area were without power. Many residents we talked to reported seeing a large flash before the power went out.
Earlier: It’s a windy and rainy evening in Magnolia. Power is out in parts of the neighborhood and Silver posted in the forum about wires down at 3254 31st Ave. Writes My Ballard reader Brian:
“Did anybody see 3 giant blue flashes of light coming from Magnolia around 7:30 pm. It was the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. Somebody in front of us drove in to a tree on 15th after it lit up the sky. I think he was really hurt.”
There are also reports of house alarms going off, presumably because of the wind. Over on Queen Anne, much of the neighborhood is without power. What do you see? Share your weather stories in comments.
