stormy weather

[rkold]

I 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 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.

Glad that no one got hurt, but I hope you get your power back soon. It's too hot to be without electricity for long.

PS: Loved the doll pics yesterday, especially Yuzuriha-chan!

I'm so glad you liked Yuzuriha-chan! <3

I hope to add some pictures of the damage in a bit.

We have not ETA for the power, last night we got to do the sad task of empyting the fridge and cleaning the water it had leaked off the floor.
