We heard a loud, far-away sounding boom and the lights dimmed for a second. The houses across the street still had power, we still had power, so we weren’t sure what happened. After a quick patrol of the block, we found out that a transformer on the street next to us blew. The backup kicked in and they still have power.
the woman who lives next to my neighbors is also camping out with us here. so now we have a nurse, a geologist, a geologist/economist, and a law student. i think we're set. an engineer would be nice, as would an atmospheric scientist, but hey, i think we're doing pretty well so far.
for the time being, i'm still catching the wireless signal from my place next door. hurricane be damned, i need my wireless.

comic relief is always good. next time, we should have a "screw the hurricane, we're partying" party.

in retrospect i may have well as stayed back. though you probably didn't really need an engineer. i am good for comic relief though.

Nope, I didn't hear it... but are you still hanging in there? I'd like to know if you lose power or your Internet connection, so a blog update at that time would be appreciated. Seriously, HANG IN THERE! Stay safe! -Lee
