So there was this huge-ass windstorm all day yesterday. I stayed in. Intermittent rain, sometimes lots, but mostly wind that made the house shake. At some point in the late evening loud thunder started, but the house had been shaking all day so it didn’t really register.
Except when I went upstairs and found the cable modem was fried. That registered.
Now I don’t know what the story is, except that the little light on the “online” indicator isn’t on. I have my work computer at home so I can get work done, but shit.
Was the other reason I didn’t want to come up last night.
Reasonable.
My lights flickered. I real quick lit candles and heated up dinner. Then all was fine.
We’ve been lashed by 80mph winds and rain in Somerset, England today. Pretty much everything that can be weighed down has been. The satellite TV dish has been knocked out of alignment and I think we’ve heard debris hitting the roof but other than that, we seem OK so far. I can see fields down in the valley that look like the water has flowed back out the rhynes and swamped them.
