I slept on the basement floor last night. It's unfinished, and at least once during the night I had to brush a camel cricket out of my hair. But it was cool and I slept well. Nobody else in the family wanted to sleep down there next to the furnace and cobwebs and stuff, so they all sweated it out on the livingroom floor. It was in the 90s in our bedrooms overnight, so sleeping up there was pretty much out of the question.
Our street is pretty much unscathed, but just a couple blocks away some folks got hit real bad. The storm was pretty terrifying, but now it's just really boring. Sitting here in the heat looking at eachother. Not much is open, and it's not safe to drive around with all the traffic lights out and people who think that means the same as having a green light. Hoping we get power today. |

 @Zen, the weather here moves from west to east, so unfortunately none of the rain from these storms will hit the wildfires out there. Probably just as well - the lightning in this storm system would've started new fires. It was crazy.

no power sucks. our lights flickered yesterday from a lightning strike up the road but that was it. surprised it didn't shut off for a while because i'm working all weekend, as murphy's law would have it.
glad y'all are alright glatt! hope you get your power back on soon! i do love a good lighting storm though but not when i'm flying in it!

Woot! Woot! And you didn't have to do the magical-thinking clean-out-the-basement thing!

Another big windy storm as I type. Hot weather makes the storms so unpredictable but imminent. I don't think it will be the magnitude of Friday, but it is exciting to see the river and the trees from my back porch. Lights just flickered so I'm hoping no repeat of power loss. I do love a storm, though.

Flash flood warning just came through my phone. The ground is so dry it pools, and runs straight into rivers and streams. I'm high on the levee so I'm safe.

The hill behind mum's house is waterlogged from all the rain. It's seeping through the back wall of her house, as well as the floor of the two back rooms. Pain in the arse.
