Out in the Central area. Power never blinked (nothing flashing).

Had a nice little wooden shack/shed in the backyard, has a tree sitting on it now. Tree fell towards my house, but with amazing good luck, it was about 10 inches too short to actually hit it.

It sucks I got a collection of 15 antique real all metal Remington and Sthil chainsaws.
I lent all of them out for people to borrow and used on last night to get a tress off a driveway
Really hated to lend them out due to these saws are beast and can hurt someone if used wrong.

Seriously, I was in the bathroom on tigerdroppings and just came out when this storm passed.
Disappointed tigerdroppings usually gives me news before the tv.
The tv kept doing the emergency warning I just thought it was a bad thunderstorm.
Next time I will just stay in the bathroom because that wind sounded rough.

Heavy gusts again in Oak Hills. Not as much lighting this time though.


Sup, neighbor?

That was some serious lightning. My generator faulted due to the initial on/off/on/off power. So I was out there in the rain resetting that bitch so we could get some A/C. Then the lightning started popping and I realized how dumb I am. Got it going but that was some serious lightning.

Wow, that's risky. Temperatures weren't bad, good thing we're not in the dead heat of summer yet. Power was out all night and I slept alright. Woke up to nice temps, opened windows to get ready for work.

I did miss having my nightstand fan noise.

Not me man. Weather used to not bother me, but since I've owned my home I've had extreme anxiety during severe weather. I can't control it and I'm on the verge of seeking professional help. During weather my wife is chill as frick as has no worries and I'm pacing the house chewing on my knuckles.

There's got to be, what, 500,000 customers in EBR? So we're talking about 3% with a rather intense storm.

I was driving home from Mango's down Siegen to Burbank around 10 last night.. Got real intense on Burbank. Cars stopped in middle of road with flashers. Sideways rain and wind rocking my truck. Would not be surprised if there were a tornado nearby..

I was driving from a job near Port Allen to New Orleans last night on I10. We left the job site at 9 PM. Scariest drive of my life. Non stop lightning all the way home, blinding rain. Pretty sure I missed a tornado near Sorrento by 5 minutes. There were down trees all along the interstate. Scary shite
