Black as the ace of spades
Yes, the power came back on. Actually it came back on an hour or so after it went out. I know because my blue xmas tree lights came back on. The rain didn’t really stop until early in the morning, not too long before I got up. This was not a cyclonic storm. There weren’t continuous flashes of lightning for hours on end. Wind, rain, thunder, and black clouds. For hours. Like about a 2000-car freight train rolling through. Lots of branches down, large and small, including a cute little cherry tree that just about brought tears to my eyes. No really big trees though. Update: I take that back. Just not anywhere I walked this morning. Generators humming throughout the neighborhoods. Obviously not everybody has power back yet. And that is about all. All is quiet here. I am off to crank out a 150-page spec by the end of the day. Somehow. Amidst a flurry of last-minute changes.

I didn’t lose power last night, but my office did and it was still out this morning. they told us to go home and check back every hour for updates. I went in (VERY DARK) and got my laptop then went to IHOP with friends for breakfast. I should start working now becaseu I have a lot to get done. but a friend at breakfast pointed out that Wimbledon will be on so I’ll have one eye on that, one eye on the computer.
there was a whole tree and half of another tree down near the office, and also a lamp post which was all twisted. lots and lots of wind last night. and rain. but banana already said that, didn’t she…

We had LOTS of rain, LOTS of lightning, LOTS of rumbly thunderbooms! Dogz did not get their walk last night because the skies opened up about 5 minutes before I could “clock out” of work. No power loss here, but enough Nervous Nern to make up for THAT 😀
