Thunderstorm!

[hsapiens]

It has been far too long since we had a proper thunderstorm. I've been listening to one blow in all evening and now it's finally got enough steam to force air in through the crack under one of the doors. The wind is a wonderful, eerie sound that would be right at home in a creepy movie.

I love thunderstorms. When I'm inside and dry, that is.

Don't imagine that our utility grid is particularly robust. Considering the amount of rain we get, you'd think it would take more than a few drops to knock out the cable. Back when I had a landline, any rain at all typically knocked out phone service for several days. Much of our power grid is above ground so when Ike came through, I think 90% of the city was powerless. I was without power for more than 2 weeks. Not my idea of ideal.
