The world is shrouded in darkness and silence... except for the hum of generators around the neighborhood. Shortly after 5 AM, the power went out. I was rudely awakened by the alarm system registering its automated objection to the loss of mains power. I pulled myself together enough to stagger out to the switch panel and tell it to shut up. Then I went back to bed, because no civilized person should try to function at 5 AM, especially with no power.
I eventually got a text message that the library would be completely closed today, because the outage is region-wide. Apparently crews from all over the region have arrived to help repair the infrastructure. 
All is well so far despite the technology interruption. Downed trees here didn't damage any structures or fences. A distant acquaintance reports a fallen tree on their house, but that's all I have heard other than trees on power lines and across a couple roads.
The trees seem to have stopped swaying madly now as the sun is heading toward the horizon, so perhaps we will be back in business, or at least library curbside pickup, tomorrow.
