We lost power from 9PM to 2Am this morning due to a tree that fell across the wires down the hill from my house. I guess it was pretty widespread everywhere.
It was kinda funny, I told my wife that the wind was howling and I thought we would lose power at around 8:30 before we went to bed. My wife cranked up the heat from 70 to 78. It was hot for a while, but quickly cooled down to the low 70's. (we were worried more about our twin boys than ourselves getting cold) When the power finally came back on, I was getting ready to fire up our generator to heat up the house and some baby bottles. Just as I pulled the cord, the motion lights outside all came on.
I turned the generator off and went back to bed.
Surprisingly, this morning we didn't have that many branches down on the ground. We did however have one of those portable basketball hoops in the driveway that is filled with sand in the base get pushed about 70 feet across the yard. That must have been one hard wind to push that across the yard. Kinda freaked me out.
