You Call That A Storm?

Ok. That sustained wind had us quite concerned. At about 7pm we looked out our windows and noticed half the neighborhood without power and shit just flying everywhere. We grabbed the blow up mattresses (the kids have their own) and had a camping adventure in the living room. My wife and son fell asleep instantly, apparently soothed by the sound of howling gusts and cracking limbs. My daughter on the other hand was unnerved and jumped in my bed and pull the covers over her head. And I did too, as much as one can sleep on the narrow edge of an inflatable mattress.

But we came through just fine. No flooding in the basement, and we seem to have one limb down on the property line. The power never even went out. Later today I'll get out the chain saw, cuss at it relentlessly because I bought it during a beer-induced shopping spree at Crazy Bob's Discount Lawn Equipment and Boiled Peanuts, and dispose of that limb. Should be fun... or a trip to the emergency room.

All take care. I hope you made it through. I hear WV got walloped with snow. Murphy's Law and ProudHillbilly, let us know you are ok.
