Storm

Two nights ago, we had a bad storm and the power went out and the water main was damaged. Last night, we had a bad storm and some trees fell on the power line. Yup. We went out to dinner last night, and while we were at an Italian resturaunt that had terrible calizones, there was a really bad thunderstorm. The lights were going on and off, a lightpost outside was swinging around it was so windy. We got back at about nine last night. By that time the storm was over and the power was out. We wanted to report the power outage so we would have an estimation of when we would get our power back. But we couldn't figure out where my cousin, who owns the house and is now in England, gets his power from. We have one flashlight, so we took a second one from his police belt which was on top of the gun safe, and we are looking through his bills trying to figure out where the power comes from. We couldn't find any recent bill from this year, but we did find power bills from 2005, and a receipt from when he bought a bike back in 1993. It was on something outside though, so we called the place and the person said that it was going to be awhile because some trees had fallen on the power line. My other cousin wanted to go home after that, but first she had to take the 6 inches of water out of her jeep. When she got that out, she was driving down the street, and she called to tell us that there was a whole army of tree trucks and power trucks on the corner trying to fix the power. We got our power back at 11:30 last night.
