Power went back on sometime between 7 and 9 pm. (Boy I bet our dog was surprised because we weren't there!)
So, what that means is most of the lights in the house came on and the heater came on so it likely went from 55 degrees inside to 70 within a few minutes (of course the whole house inside has to heat up again too after no heat since about midnight Tuesday night. Many people in our area still have no power, we just happen to be in the 1/2 of the area that happened to get power tonight.
So, since more storms might come now the way things look (the next ones are northern Storms which means it's supposed to get 40 degrees tonight here on the northern coast (BRRR!) (That's cold for here where temperatures mostly stay between 50 and 70 degrees year around. We have two winters (a bad one from December to about March or April and then we have another one (not as bad) from June to August or September where it can usually be between 55 and 70 most days during the summer because of high or low or both kinds of fog off the ocean where we live.
However, 10 or 20 miles inland it can easily be 110 degrees while it is 55 to 65 most days here during the summer and overcast.
However, it's also why we can live in a forest on the ocean too (this combination of events) and the Redwoods like it from Big Sur up the coast to at least the California Oregon Border or further. So, since this is the only place (California and Oregon ) where the tall Redwoods grow (Sequoias grow in Sequoia National Park in the Sierra Mountains close to Nevada by the way) but they are a different variety that can handle a more dry climate than we have at the coast.
Note: by the way I just put Sequoia national park into the search engine and this is what came out. I wasn't trying to sell you anything because I'm not affiliated with any of these places. However, it is true that Sequoia Redwoods like the Coastal Redwoods are an International Treasure. Redwood trees are very special and often thousands of years old like the Sequoias in Sequoia national park
