Bah. No power.

Our power went out around 2 a.m. with that awful storm, and the tree in our front yard is completely down while one in our backyard has lost large branches. Our street looks crazy! I'm hoping I don't have to go to the extent of moving lots of fridge and freezer food....

Re: Bah. No power.

  • Ugh, that really sucks!!  

    I think the storm hit our side of town really hard, I woke up during it and it looked like a hurricane outside.

  • We lost power at 130 but it came back after like 5 minutes. That storm was sooo loud.
  • Our power is out too. I really had no clue that it stormed...we had a LONG weekend of traveling to MO and baby showers. By the time we got back home last night I fell asleep at 8:30 and slept hard all night. I woke up and thought I was dreaming when I tried to turn on the bathroom light and it wouldnt work. I asked dh if he paid our bill and he looked at me with a wtf look and said it was probably from the storm last night...

    Every time we have a power outage, that is my first thought as well.  Big Smile

  • Anyone else in the West O/Gretna-ish area?  DH and I live near 192nd and Q..we didn't hear anything, and nothing seems out of place in our yard...did we luck out?
  • Boo!  I normally sleep through storms, but that one woke me up so I turned on the TV to see what was going on and I had to laugh because it sounded like our house was going to blow away and I was listening for the sirens, but Channel 7 was all like "This is not a sever thunderstorm, maybe some wind in areas".  I had to wondering what the heck it was doing down there because it was def. storming at our house!

    Hope the power is back on soon for you!!

  • If you need freezer space just hollar.  You can come over also if the temps get unbearable but I'll warn you our house is a noise machine today with all the work being done.
  • Ugh, no power sucks. Don't realize how much you rely on it until you don't have it! Hope it comes back on before you have to deal with the fridge/freezer...

    We're in Gretna - I never heard a thing, and there are no branches or even leaves down... weird!

  • Sorry S!! That sucks about your beautiful trees. I hope the power is back on for you soon. We had a power outage for 4 hours a few weeks ago when it was really hot and I was worried about all the BM in the freezer.  Meat can be replaced. I can't replace my baby's milk!!

    We live in West O, a little farther north than Gretna/Q Street.  I slept through everything and our yard was in tact this morning.  So it's possible we didn't get hit nearly as hard.

  • It was pretty bad in our neck of the woods! 

    I hope the power is back on for you soon.  We're not too far if you need a place to hang out if it's not (you could get some cuddle bug time with a newborn).
