We've been having 70mph winds and rain since early Friday night!
We went out to a halloween party Friday night, and we're headed up our road... and there are fire trucks and ambulances outside our house! I almost had a heart attack - it turns out, it was our neighbors house. We lost the power for a bit, and when it came back on, it surged and it ended up blowing the transformer and lines OFF their house, and the side of their roof caught on fire!
Fortunately, they got it put out, with minimal damage! It was so scary though. They shut off our power and a couple other houses nearby, in case of a similar power surge, and we finally got it back this morning.
I missed all of the Shack Night fun, and I missed posting my activity! :(
Hopefully all your weekends weren't this eventful!!!
