I am starting to get a tad worried, as the "official" hurricane season begins two months from now, yet consider the following:
On Saturday afternoon, April 20, we had a storm that was so vicious as to be terrifying. Wind, rain, horrific thunder and lightening ripped up my neighborhood, damaging my screen porch, breaking two steel cable fasteners, knocked over a tree blocking my front door and breaking my storm gutter on the south side of my home. You could actually view horizontal rain destroying the property, throwing all sorts of debris flying about the yard and down the street, and many streets were flooded or covered with downed trees.
Naturally, we lost electricity, and I wound up spending a splendid Sunday, Monday and much of Tuesday picking up, sorting and packing away the wasted remains. On top of this, my workplace was struck by lightening, which wiped out our computers, telephone, alarm and lighting systems. We are still trying to get things up and running.
Oh, and Monday evening, we had a repeat performance of the storm, which thankfully was not as devastating, yet still left all sorts of crap blocking the roadways.
Terrific. An unnamed rain storm paralyzes my city, and it isn't even June yet.
