I love a rainny night.

Last night we had a large storm move though are area and much of the South East of the US.  Evidently it even killed a few people in Georgia.  Luckily for me it was not that big of a deal.  For us, the power went out around 6:00 PM, but I had a plan.  For hurricane system about three years ago we bought a generator.  Nothing much but enough to power the well and fridge.  Since I had work to do at work and needed my local server to be working, I choose to see what it could do.  A couple of extension cables later, I had, lights, TV, computer, a fan, and my computers all powered up… then the power came back on about 10 minutes later.  Ah , well at least I know it will be able to do the job and it is still working well for this season.  Need to change the oil this year.

Anyway, when I going to work, I had to fight high winds behind the storm.  Bad enough that when we crossed the bridge I was really worried about being blown off of it.  When I got to work, I found that some people were not going to have a very good day.  As you can see in the picture, those are limbs off of a tree.  Those were broken off of many of the pines that were getting blown into the oak and sadly, were breaking/denting peoples cars.  Luckily (or smartly) I did not park under trees when it is windy so nothing happened to me.

It will be ‘interesting’ to drive back home.  The winds are supposed to keep up tonight.
