rkoldI ought to be counting my blessings, no one was injured, no homes were destroyed, heck not even any cars looked smashed.
Last night between 10:20 and 10:30 p.m. enormous thunderstorms passed directly over my house. Rain came down in sheets, and came in through a side door into my basement. Thunder sounded noisily and lightening illuminated the yard like Akihabara at night. I was IMing to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
muscatlove that our lights were flickering when a horrible rending sound was heard and the house went dark.
At the end of my block 3 trees and 1 utility pole are currently still down. I've lost phone and electricity, with no idea when either will return. I took some pictures, but forgot my camera cable, but if my laptop has enough power, I will edit them tonight to share from work tomorrow. I have my doubts we are getting power back anytime soon. I want my internet damnit! I want lights! I really hope they can get something up soon. It's a bad sign that when I call my phone number all I get is a busy signal. I forgot my cell phone plug at home, so I have to hope my phone doesn't run out of power or I have no alarm to wake me in the morning.
