Weekend Fun
I thought i was going to have a slow, and enjoyable weekend for once doing very little, however all that changed when i got home from work.
Around 4pm, a small storm rolled through the area, and most of us didn’t think most of it as we were watching it at work. We just thought a little wind, rain, thunder does not hurt. About 30 minutes later, i receive a call from church asking about Sunday, and i answered the questions. She said i would have emailed you, but we don’t have any power right now. She asked me if i had power and i said since i’m still at work we do but we also have a generator that will kick in if we do lose power.
I leave and go home, and my garage door won’t open. I’m thinking my battery is dead. I tried a couple of times before i realize i have no power. To confirm this, i walk in my house and my UPS battery backup is going crazy. So, i decide to call church to see just what time they lost power, and they said around 4pm. So i’m thinking it’s going on one hour, and i just bought groceries a couple of days ago, my frig and freezer are full, what to do? Call my parents to see what the timeframe is before i should start moving inventory out and they said couple of hours.
To make a long story short, i moved 85% of the stuff out and took it to my parents and as of right now, i am one of the 6,000 people still without power. I have a co-worker in my subdivision and they are still without power but have a neighbor who let them borrow a generator. I told her if you get power this evening, give me a call. Otherwise, i would like to call you to see if power came back on.
So, that’s my fun so far this weekend.
