240000 homes without power, lots of trees down, took an extra half hour to get to work this morning with all the downed trees. |

We had the sirens going off for quite awhile by me, which was kind of odd since usually the storm dissipate when they get next to the lake. This time the lake gave the storm more power.  We also had a lot of limbs down. Got to use the Jeep to pull some large branches from the driveway and local streets though They were about 6-8 inches in diameter and around 15 feet long.

I miss those storms, not the humidity just the storms. My parents lost power for 18 hours. Since moving to Colorado the only time I’ve lost power is when a drunk driver ran over a transformer. |
