Blackout

Big storm went through my area knocked out power in basically the whole metro. Coming back slowly area by area but I'm not sure when mine will have power again.

(Maybe tomorrow! Power company's been doing a reasonable job especially considering a lot of electric poles were downed by the wind)

Minimal flooding as far as I can tell, though cell signal has also suffered pretty bad in my area from the storm so I haven't been able to go online much to get news. I wander over to my dad's radio every once in a while to get some idea of what's going on but you know.

I've had a couple people email me asking if I'm well and I just want to reassure you all I'm safe <3

(And now going to hope this email post gets through somehow through the magic of background connections!)

Power back!

Power came back :) I feel a bit silly posting the previous entry now -- figured once darkness hit the power company would be forced to stop working because of how dangerous it isn't, so I went and posted expecting to be gone another night.

But they've exceeded my expectations! I feel super grateful to them now. Power come to meeeeee
