A Lava Lamp to stare at.

[TerryRitchie]

Flooding has never been an issue here, but I may end up offline for a few days just like Dav.   The issue we're facing is the dang winds this time around!  Living in the mountains, with the hills all straight up and down, the wind will knock down old trees and then those fall on top of the powerlines...  Which the electric guys then have to basically cut a road back into to fix.  (Or dangle those poor guys out in those helicopters who don't make enough money at a zillion dollars an hour for their job!)

We've had power flick off and on a dozen times already today.  I'm kinda imagining that power may just decided to die for good eventually before this mess passes us on by completely.

The wind is reaching us all the way in NorthWest Ohio too. Windier than crap right now, about 40 to 50MPH gusts. Not enough to knock down trees but some huge limbs dropping on power lines could cause power to go at any time now. Gotta love living in a first world country with third world wiring.
