Holy Shit!

OMFG, I almost had a heart attack from the way that the winds started to blow like crazy (hurled a window fan out of the window, that's about when I jumped up a foot). Lightning. WTF. It's raining hard as hell now, thundering and lightning like a mofo, winds are crazy. And [personal profile] fings had to stay late at work because a transformer at the college blew so IT stuff regarding keeping the computer room ok had to ensue. He's still not home :(.

We had a blackout for about a minute, but the stove/oven and the refrigerator aren't working. I've fiddled with the circuit breakers but no joy. WTF. I am not happy.

You city people! We country folk have to be ready for that crap all the time!

Anyway, yeah last night was a bruiser. The kids were a bit freaked, but we actually managed not to lose power. Yippie! I friggin hate losing power. Can't even draw water.

I can take storms, and I've lived through my share of blackouts for hours. What scared the shit out of me was how damn fast it went from breezy to ZOMG fierce insane winds!

That was pretty freaky, though we had more warning up here. It was cloudy, cloudy, started thundering and I started thinking, "What is with this thing? It's never going to frickin rain!" Then bam! But no hail, thankfully.

The other day we had a weird "sunshower" of hail that I didn't appreciate, since I was out on a walk with the girls. The weather has been crazy.

We had a weird sunshower over the weekend, but thankfully no hail. This weather needs a do-over.
