Haven't we had enough wind?

Fortunately, not so many people out of power this time:
High winds led to widespread power outages in the north Puget Sound region, just weeks after a windstorm left much of Western Washington in the dark.

Puget Sound Energy, the state's largest electric utility, had about 6,700 customers without service, spokesman Dave Reid said Saturday. At the storm's peak, there were 34,000 people in the dark.
Puget Sound Energy has put up a great FAQ and graphic illustration on their website about the mid-December windstorm with answers to all kinds of questions (like, why did my neighbor have power but I didn't?) You can view it here.
