Power Outage

Man, this storm that blew through really roughed up my street. The poor old couple across the street now have a new addition to their kitchen...in the form of a hundred-something year-old oak tree. I lost trees as well, including my favourite beech, thankfully they didn't hit the house at least. ...Though a large branch did knock a few roof-tiles out of place, but we were intending to get a new roof anyway.
Power was gone for at least thirty-six hours...we lost nearly everything in the fridge. The house was a sauna, and the cats started to melt. There was no power to be found for miles, the whole area was out. So I couldn't just go to a cafe and use the internet there. Traffic was horrible without the lights at the intersections...the morons. Though there were quite a few people that were polite in that instance.
My pet frog was happy with the humidity, so that was a plus.
