Stormy weather and massive power outages

[milleniumgypsy]

So last night we had a once in a lifetime wind storm. Power went out at 10pm last night and it's still out this evening. Half of Anchorage was without powerthis morning. They're working on it but there's a lot of damage. Full trees were basicically ripped out by their roots because of the summer leaves not letting go like they would've done in the fall so they acted like sails. Also we had rain recently so the soil was loose. I saw a picture of a big flagpole snapped in half. Near us a huge pine was downed in the street and two power lines are just laying on the ground. All state offices were closed today so I didn't go in to work. Posting this from the library. Hope the power comes back soon. I'm worried about the food in the fridge/freezer. :/ Also though we have no power the fire operation system monitor in the hall is emitting a high pitched squeal that we can't turn off letting us know that it's not operating correctly... because the power is out. I know the power is out stop squealing asdfgOMG!

The power came back on today at 6 pm luckily, so things are getting back to normal! That's a relief!

That icon seemed appropriate for the sitch, haha. It always amuses me when I see it too. xD
