I wish for you . . . you know I do . . . when I’m wishing on a star . . .
Golly what a night! First off I'm alright and so are my roomies. Shortly after I posted the last journal I got another call from my roommate who suggested that I drive up to the street to the office and take shelter. I decided to go ahead and do that so I unplugged my equipment and threw some clothes on and drove up to the office. It was really windy and I saw a lot of lightning flashes. The freakiest thing about the 5 min drive was the tornado sirens blaring. I made it to the office and got into the shelter with everyone else and was there for about an hour till the watch was cleared.
After we had the all clear I drove back home and found that our power was out. Not surprising considering the downed trees on the streets. I made it inside and chatted on my phone until the battery started going down. Then I slept for a few hours and watched more lightning flashes from my bedroom window.
Well now the power is back up and the storms seem to have passed. Now lets hope we don't have another one of those for a few weeks.

FA+

I hope you slept well after that at least.
Take care now.
