The wind and rain started picking up here at about 1:00, when I was on my way back to the office from our hosting facility. Wild! Half the traffic lights were out between here and there--and people were driving like total idiots!

At about 2:00, lurkette called from home to say that the big dead tree in our backyard that we've been worrying about fell down--away from the house, fortunately. She was a little antsy about us being in different places, what with falling trees and big wind and the world ending and all, so I came home from work at about 2:45.

The moment I stepped through the door of my house, the power went out.

At about 8:00 the wind started calming down and the dozen or so candles we'd lit started filling our living room with a warm romantic glow. lurkette and I snuggled on our comfy chair to the buzz of NPR and the local news on our transistor radio. We went to bed at about 9:30 (not much else to do) and woke up this morning to a still-powerless house. Fortunately, both of our offices still have juice.

How about you? Who else weathered the storm? How'd it go?
