There was some heavy winds here this past few days and it knocked down an array of power-lines/trees. In my area it was just a few trees leaning against power-lines and mild debris on the roads. In other areas (I'm Told) power lines fell down in domino like fashion. There was also some heavy rain. My house is a tank so no flooding or damage here but I bet some others aren't as lucky. The below picture is from a google search (not in my area). I don't have any pictures to share because I didn't venture out too far. Not because I didn't want to but because driving on the road while trees are leaning against the power lines isn't the brightest of ideas. Although I did go for a small drive to see the condition of the surrounding area as described above (Short 2 min. drive).

I have my own well water that runs on a pump. And as I'm sure you know that means I need power to have running water. Having no running water for 2+ days was the biggest downer for me. However we have a water dispenser and we stocked up on cases of water just a day before our power clunked out so we had/have plenty of drinking water to spare. We had lots of lights ready to go as we have solar panel lights outside and just brought them in when it got dark. Add that with the candles we had and lighten was not an issue. I'm not going to lie, I rather liked the complete shut off from everything the world has to offer. No type of electronics for three days. Just you, the people around you and whatever your imaginations can cook up. I got a chance to use my new Propane BBQ that been sitting in its packaging since the day I bought it some weeks back. BBQ sausages and BBQ Stake never tasted so good.

Following that we will dig into the world of PSYBERX. I should note that the Youtube videos shared are not of the storm in my area. I wish I had the foresight to record the heavy rain but sadly I did not (something I will have to remember for next time).
