This morning just before 8 there was a tragic plane crash in the city next to ours. As it went down, the plane took out some power lines which fed a huge area and 28,000 of us were suddenly without electricity.

Palo Alto Utilities worked all day to get power restored and right before 6 tonight – as I was lighting candles and figuring out what I could cook in the dark and reassuring the kids that it wasn’t going to be scary – the lights came back on!

Thanks to everyone who worked hard in difficult circumstances to make this happen. Our family really appreciates it!
