We had a really bad storm go through here this afternoon and power went out about 4pm. Went up the road and there's several LARGE trees down on power lines about a half mile from my house so looks like I'm in for an extended outage.
Got the generator up and running so we're able to have some of life's necessities, ie, internet being one of those along with water and lights!! Weather for tonight and tomorrow is good with highs tomorrow only @ 78* so we're blessed there as there's no A/C.
This is also putting the brakes on my Unimesh work but to be honest, I need a break from that thing before I take a hammer to it. More on that later.
Ennywho, some folks around this area have home and vehicle damage but haven't heard anything about any fatalities from the storm yet. I guess we're lucky as there's no damage on the place here other than the electricity being out. Could have been much worse.

We had a close hit by lightning. My florescent lights came on for a few seconds! No damage apparent to any equipment. Furnace went off and would not restart for about an hour, but now back on.
