A Night of Storms

Last night we went to the brand new Huddle House to eat dinner. It was lightening and the wind was blowing when we left the house but we got safely in the Huddle House before the clouds burst open with rain. When we were nearly done eating the lights blinked off and on and then went off. Everyone started looking out the window (guess cause that was the only place where there was any light (mostly from the lightening) when all of a sudden we saw lightening hit a transformer and it lit up and then sparks went flying every where. It was totally awsome. The lights came back on at the Huddle House at that time but all the lights across the street at the QT and everywhere else went out. We paid our check and headed home. Home had lights and so we sent the kids to bed and I settled down with my cup of coffee and my computer, an hour and a half later the lightening started back up and boom there went our electricity. So we lit some oil lamps we keep around for just such reasons and sat by our computers just waiting for them to come back on. Thirty minutes go by and nothing happens, it is a little after 11:00 at this point and getting really hot in the house, can't open the windows the rain will come in so I head on to bed. About an hour later just as I am dozing off to sleep I feel the fan above my head come on and it feels so good. I think about going back downstairs and getting on my computer but as I am thinking about it I guess I fall asleep cause when I wake up it is morning and time to get the kids up for school. Ya'll have a good day and watch those rain storms.
