Power Failure

This evening, some storms knocked out the power and water in Nichada. The kids and I were eating dinner and were suddenly bereft of the benefit of electricity. Power and water were out for about five hours.

The storms knocked down some trees which hit some power lines. The guard told Tim that someone was killed by falling trees, although I don't think it was actually in Nichada. The details on that are kind of sketchy.

ISB cancelled school tomorrow because of the power outage. I got the text message on my phone about five minutes before the electric came back on.

The kids are sleeping in our room tonight. Thankfully the storms cooled it down a bit, so they were able to sleep before the electricity came back on.
