It's crazy - the TV news says go to their web site for traffic updates...try to navigate that! i dare you! Heck, i double dog dare you!

So frustrating!

Yes it was an ugly ride to work. Power line was down on HWY 200 north and at the intersection of 74 and 200. A tree was across our road on the other end. I didn't have any trouble going to work. Oddly enough I slept threw the whole storm until I got up to get ready for work and the power went off. LOL

Funny thing was I got up and went potty, then asked Sweet did she have her alarm set. Then I said did it ever storm last night? She said yes it's storming right now....then crack snapple pop and the power was out.

My brother was still cleaning up from thursday so was I. It rained more and nasty wind this morning. The last of tree that took greenhouse went down. As did the greenhouse itself.

I got woke up at 2:30am by a 60 pound baby laying shivering on top of me. I was trying to breathe and laugh at the same time, then here come the 20 pound one just a shivering too, he was pacing all around the house til he sawwwww, Daddy's awake!!!!! yippee!!!! Finally I had to put them in their kennels, which oddly enough, is where I think they wanted to be in the first place cuz they ran right in, lil shits, see if I'm nice next time there's a storm brewing. Damage wise - all it did was blow a few old limbs out of a few trees and blow my flag pole out of the bracket. I know the area was hard hit and we were lucky down here in southern Union County. My heart goes out to those who lost homes due to large trees coming down on them and the injured.
