[21:02] finally have power & internet connection again after our "bomb-cyclone" event [21:40] valorie: no idea what a bomb cyclone is, but glad you are getting things sorted after ;) [21:40] hours and hours of very strong wind and some torrential rain [21:41] so many thousands still without power since Tuesday [21:41] closed roads, schools, etc [21:42] trees on the roofs of two houses in the neighborhood [21:42] just branches on the ground in our gardens, fortunately [21:43] people were flocking to the few places with heat, lights & internet including my son who had just flown up from Denver for [21:43] the thanksgiving holiday [21:44] he needed to do a few days of work from home [21:44] today, no need to drive to do that [21:44] :-) [21:45] another smaller windstorm now kicking up; hopefully much smaller [22:36] so an unusually bad storm [22:37] * RikMills sighs at weather forecasters/reporters using over dramatic terms [23:04] They love doing that in the US. Glad you're ok valorie!
