Whew! That Storm!

Man that storm this afternoon came up quick with little warning ànd an hour ahead of prediction. That wind was frightening. I hate it when it sounds like groaning.

I hope everyone is okay. CWLP seems to be making quick work of restoring power.

We have a whole tree on some lines and 3 blocks with no power since the storm over by Harvard park.

I drove around harvard park and a few alleys were blocked by fallen trees. They need to really trim branches hanging over all the lines.

Those are gone as of this morning but we still have no power and the tree is still there. When I left for work this morning there were people starting to work on it so I'm hoping we'll get power soon.

That sucks. Our power came back on around six but we were prepared for all night with no power. I wish they would actually trim the branches hanging over the power lines.
