Stormy weather

Over an hour ago, the power blew out. Right after one of the most intense, and loudest, lightening/thunder cracks I've seen or heard. I'm pretty sure our house shook. The lights flickered off, then on, then off for good. Then the rain came pouring down, followed by pounding hail! It was pretty crazy!! I did a couple of laps around the perimeter to make sure our house was ok and nothing looked out of the ordinary.

One set of neighbors next to us also don't have power. But every other neighbor (including the ones on the other side of us) still have power! So who knows what happened. Everyone in the neighborhood confirms they also heard the loud boom - so it wasn't just me imagining things.

Callum's home sick today. He played on his iPad for a bit but I decided he should read a little since "it's still light now, and who knows when we'll get our power back on..." ;-) Luckily for me, he didn't argue!
