Suddenly, the lights went out.
We got power back after 4 hours; we’re lucky, because the morning news said that there were still 160,000 customers without power.
The rain is still coming down hard, but at least it’s not windy.
The floor guys are at work, so it’s noisy and smelly again. And I’m on a conference call, with more scheduled throughout the day. I hope they finish soon so I can escape to the office.
Usually, we start the rainy season with some heavy drizzle, just enough to get the roads slick and dangerous. The real rain doesn’t happen until later in the season.
Not this year — our first real rain of the season has been a good, windy storm. Power went out for a few seconds a few minutes ago, but it came back quickly and I was able to reestablish connectivity — dunno how long it’ll last. (Power, not connectivity.)
Our floors are partially done — they were supposed to get the third coat of polyurethane this morning, but the refinishers weren’t able to come before we had to leave for work, so I guess it’ll happen tomorrow. I don’t think letting the stuff dry an extra day is a bad idea, and it’s kinda nice not having the house smell so bad!
