Ran of out of water? (Steam outage) - Page 2

No worries, I'm about 70 minutes away or so from Valve and my power came back this morning. They said they would have power restored to most areas within 4-5 days, but then again we did get 90mph gusts in a lot of areas...

1.5 million people (or homes, I'm not sure which) were out of power.

Valve itself is in Bellevue, which was a lot harder hit than Seattle, although I think Valve's servers are actually in Seattle. The 'eastside', as the large collection of cities just east of Lake Washington are known, was the hardest hit. My house is in that area, in Bothell. Downtown Bellevue, where Valve is, had it's power back on almost immediately despite being in the middle of the Eastside. They were out for less than a day, while my house and most of the area surrounding Bellevue were out for about 3 days. Some areas are still out of power even now.
