Wow it flooded last night! One particular burst of thunder (really, it sounded like a cannon went off outside our window) woke me up in time to watch the cable die. Honestly, the screen looked really cool when it went out.
The power kept going out as well which was really annoying. Every time it would go out or come back on, both mine and Ryan’s phones would make noises and one of the breakers would make a loud thump. I was too asleep to think about it at the time, but when I woke up I was really freaked that all those surges might’ve fried something, but so far everything seems okay.
All the cable receivers in the apartment were still showing 12–which was weird since even when the cable goes out, the time is still correct. So after finding the internet was out too, I called to make sure there was a message up saying that there was an outage in my area–but there wasn’t so I actually had to wait and talk to someone. Turns out power had been lost to the place that provides all our stuff, so there were like 75 people without cable. Since before my call they weren’t aware of the problem, I was expecting no net for most of the day, but less than an hour later they had it all back up! I was pleasantly surprised!
It rained a lot more than I had thought though. I threw on flip flops to run to class since I was running late due to the cable phone call, and wow–there was water standing in the park. So halfway through my walk I was getting blisters and my feet were sliding out of my shoes. It wasn’t a fun walk this morning! So I woke Ryan up and made him pick me up so I wouldn’t have to walk back.
Now I’m listening to the rain outside. It’s making me want to go back to sleep, but I really shouldn’t.
