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.

Today is just a sad day for me. All the stress from the last few days, now that I have a game plan together is just starting to it me. Nothing really bad per say. My wife, while in the hospital is going to be fine. Finances because of that are ok as I have a plan. It just a lot to be feeling right now. I’m also feeling poorly that I am not updating this as much so I’m going to be working on a goal to do just that. Does not have to be Therian, but just about what is going on. I’m going to try to get some items up about my garden and animals I see and we will go from there.
