14 days after the famous Columbus Day storm in 1962. It was a legitimate hurricane, that came through western Washington and Oregon from the south. There were miles of electric lines that had rotten poles and deferred maintenance, and they looked like pick-up-sticks on the highway after the storm. We had lots of canned food, and a good Coleman stove, so we got by OK. I even shot a pheasant, which mom cooked. No water, but neighbor had a shallow well and a little gas operated pump, so we rigged up hoses to his place. At 9 AM and 3 PM, he would honk his car horn, then start his pump- we had our storage vessels ready, and would fill them. When we had them full, we'd honk our car horn, and he'd shut the operation down. Good neighbors, from Nebraska. Pete and Lizzie Henry, RIP.
