Quite a long power outage today. Sometime around 7 I was awaked by the sound of rain. I got up and went round my apartment shutting windows, and then went to shut my compute down, rather than leave it in sleep mode. Right as it was waking up, but before I could get to the shutdown menu, the power went out. It seemed like a cruel trick, really. It stayed out till around 2.

The storm was quite impressive. Extreme wind and rain. I felt like I was in a hurricane. Tree limbs were blowing about, and at one point the rain was coming down so hard that I could scarcely see more than 20 feet, before it was just a wall of white. The thunder kept setting my stupid car alarm off, so that I had to run out to the car and shut the thing off entirely.

Oh what fun. The sun is out now, and the 'tricity is back, but there are still tree branches everywhere.
