No post yesterday due to extremely high winds taking out the power to us and 4,000 of our neighbors for 12 hours or so. Hubby pulled out the generator, fired it up and we had light! Electricity came back, the generator ran out of gasoline, and my alarm went off all about the same time. Very disorienting!
Winds were extremely high, close to 100 mph, last night. Highest I think I've experienced in this house and it was groaning and creaking. Was rather nice, just having candles lighting the house. Quiet. Calming. No TV blaring. No white lights glaring. Enjoyed it, but, being winter, the pipes needed warmth, he needed Vorlon, and the generator performed flawlessly.
Roads were terrible today after the post-wind 14" of snow. Was concerned about roof damage and finding all the stuff that used to be on the porches, so came home early. Don't know yet about a small section on the back, windward side. Will keep an eye on it. Post-holed around the yard for various vantage points as we picked up stuff. Snow well over my knees!
Guess they had a hideous night at work. No surprise. Just damned glad I wasn't there!
Going to bed early and try to make up for last night's lost sleep.
