Stormy day

Yesterday afternoon, we had a hellacious storm sweep thru our area. Most of the town lost power, and many are still without power this afternoon. We had a lot of trees down, transformers and houses struck by lightening, a boater stuck in it and forced to beach his boat, no traffic lights working. It was BAD here.

Not the greatest time to discover that your brand new generator is a piece of shit. Grr... Fucker's supposed to put out enough juice to run the fridge, freezer, and a/c...it was putting out 3V. Yeah, you read that right THREE VOLTS. That's not even as much as the friggin' battery in my alarm clock!!

The Hub got called in to work and didn't get home til after 11 last night cuz they were trying to get power restored on base.


We lost power for over 5 hours, and we were one of the lucky ones. Like I said, many still don't have power this afternoon. There are trees down all over town, and the storm did damage in several surrounding counties, as well.


To show you a small sample of how nasty Mother Nature decided to be, take a look at these. This is my friend, D's Durango. She was at work when this happened. I got cold chills when I saw these.

She works in that building with the red roof. Can you say "shitting kitties"??

Thank God there weren't any serious injuries from Mother Nature's wrath.
