Last night, I was cozily about to fall asleep on the couch. I was listening to Nightly Business Report (~11:30). All of a sudden, the TV, the fan, and AC all turned. My initial reaction was gosh darnnit, The circuit must have blew out. Then, I noticed the street light were out. The entire neighborhood had lost power. I looked outside and realized that it was storming really hard. I walked around the apartment, and rain was blowing 3 feet into the kitchen. I closed the windows a bit, and I should also mention that it was one of the hottest days of summer. It was night time and in the 90s. Eventually, the storm let up, and I opened the windows again. It had stopped raining, but there were large burst of lightning. Much of the neighborhood had gone outside to watch, and did I mention it was god awfully HOT. I opened up some more windows, but I didn’t fall asleep until 2.

In the morning, I got woken up by my roommate. Before work, he went and bought some ice to put most of the perishables in coolers. Then, I fell back to sleep. I woke up again around at 10:30AM. It was significantly less hot today and bearable. I debated going to the library and spending the whole day there (which I’m here now.) Before, I left the power did come back on. So, that’s a load off. The internet was still off and hopefully shouldn’t be long before its running again. So, I still might spend the rest of the day downtown. Maybe get some McD’s and read a book or three.
