So we got some crazy winds Thursday night.
It uprooted and destroyed a bunch of trees in the area, so needless to say, power lines were also taken down.
Our neighborhood was flanked by multiple downed trees/power lines. Most of the city was back up within a couple hours Thursday night/early Friday.
Our power came back around 2:30 pm today.
Mike's work also had outages, so they said not to bother to come in Friday morning.
My company had power, so it was business as usual. Not many people showed up from what I hear. I sure as heck didn't.
Finding breakfast that morning was a challenge because there were a good chunk of people from this area all without power and searching for some hot coffee to start the day.
We showered at my mom's house in the afternoon, then ran a couple errands.
We also borrowed a Honda generator from my older brother. We had to travel a bit for gas too, especially a station not already crammed with tank fillers.
We bastardized an extension cord and had heat Friday night. aww yeah
We also ran a line to use on small appliances and help the fish tank filter and heat back up.
We saved bare essentials from the refrigerator in a cooler. Thankfully I didn't need to run back out to get ice - we already had plenty available.
It was actually kind of fun. Sort of like camping with minimal electrical and water available.
However, it was starting to get pretty old too. All that time off available and all we wanted to do was play video games.
add insult to injury - we got about 5 inches of the super heavy wet snow overnight. That took a while to clean up. I want to now search the weather sites to see if they have old recordings of the radar, and watch the crazy ish that was going on overhead.
Anyway here are some pics. After having breakfast and lunch out on Friday, I just didn't want to eat out anymore, so I decided to use up some of our food, rather than let it go bad.
I was looking to try out a chicken corn chowder recipe anyway. (delicious btw)

wiring fun
Just in case of pilfering (it'll slow them down anyway - bedroom window is right above the action too)
food prep
beer had to be consumed
