public service

This was today's front page. A huge windstorm knocked out power to many places in the Seattle area last week. Tonight, we are expected to get a whole lot of rain and more wind. Not to the same levels as last week, but significant weather all the same. More than 100 people have been hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning over the last week when they starting using generators and bringing grills inside their home for heat. Many of the victims have been immigrants. While making the front page not very visual appealing, it served as a public announcement to people in six languages. I think it is great that we take chances like this, especially when it can really benefit our community.
