ARRRGGH! I lose power at my house generally once each summer in a bad storm. I keep an oil lamp for just such occasions. BUT, it always seems to happen the night before I have to travel somewhere so that I have to pack in the dark!

Guess who is now on laptop battery and oil lamp for light? At least tomorrow I don't have to leave until later in the day so I can pack in the moring in daylight.

If I'm not around in the morning, have a nice weekend, everyone!
 
That storm was a doozy, wasn't it, Chey...sorry you lost power though.
 
Have a wonderful vacation, Cheyenne.

Did you find enough Magic for the entire weekend? There are some of us anxiously awaiting more shared Magic stories.


:)
 
Just a short vacation, only until Sunday. Yup, I have enough Magic for the weekend. :)


The rain just stopped. At least from this round of storms. I'm hoping I have electric back by morning or it will be a real pain in the ass.
 
I loved that storm Piper. And I know you live in my area so you know what i mean. :) Work was out of power (as well as the entire grid). No power ANYWHERE. No stores, no houses, not even street lamps. Nada. That was fun. :)
 
Well get ready because there is more headed your way!

I spoke too soon- still thundering out there.
 
ok

You have a great time Cheyenne. Any chance of a complete report with pictures? :)

Eh, not too soon. Might move north of me, and if it doesn't...will be an hour and a half to 2 hours before it hits me again. :)

Ack! I really need to get out of here!

Now I have a water leak from the top of the frame of my patio door in the kitchen. Which is on the first floor! I'm afraid to go upstairs to see what the ceiling looks like if it is dripping down the wall. Roof repairs in my future, I can see it now...

Pictures? Hmmmmm... nope, don't think so. ;)

Please god let my power stay in tact for the next 2 weeks. ;)

For the kind of power you're talking about, you just need batteries. :D
 
I'm back! At least for a short time during breakfast. :)

Power came back on during the night so I'm not even on oil lamp and battery power any more. I've had my hot shower and I'm about to have breakfast, and then I'm out of here! :D

Pain in the ass is a good reason not to use Magic in the dark.;)
 
I'm back! Did ya miss me?

The rain leak is worse than I thought. My house stunk of mold/mildew when I got home tonight- another large spot on the ceiling that is wet. Ack- I see major roof repair work ahead!
