Some won't have their lights back on for days, spokesman Roger Thompson said.<BR/><BR/>In Oregon, about 350,000 customers lost power, and repairs to restore all of them could stretch into next week, utility officials said.<BR/><BR/>Winds gusted to a record 69 mph about 1 a.m. at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, breaking the old mark of 65 mph set in 1993. Winds were clocked at 90 mph near Westport on the coast.<BR/><BR/>The Seattle Post-Intelligencer went unpublished for the first time since a 1936 labor strike, because electricity was knocked out to its printing presses, managing editor David McCumber said. The Seattle Times, which shares the presses, had only about 13,000 copies available Friday morning.<BR/><BR/>It was the most intense storm to hit the region since the Inauguration Day storm of January 20, 1993, which killed five people and caused about $130 million in damage, said Clifford F.

And he encouraged others to join him. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>"It's something that's been bothering me for quite some time, the direction in which the party has been going more and more toward big government and disregard toward privacy and civil liberties," said Barr, 58, a lawyer and consultant living in Atlanta. "In terms of where the country needs to be going to get back to our constitutional roots ... I've come to the conclusion that the only way to do that is to work with a party that practices what it preaches, and that is the Libertarian Party." </I><BR/><BR/>Beeezarr behaviour.desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.com
