Shortly after noon the winds began to blow and the rain poured down. The violence of the storm was incredible. It wasn’t long before we heard a loud bang and the lights went out.
We waited a moment and then started calling the electric company. After hitting the redial button a gazillion times, I finally got through and gave the information.
It’s now 4:45 and guess what? No power. The woman I spoke with apparently never typed in the location I gave her, because Hubby tracked down an electric truck and they knew nothing about our outage. Hubby also located the pole with the blown breaker. So we got the pole number and called back. Hopefully they’ll get it this time.
Meanwhile, we are using our generator. Something we don’t often use because our lights never go out! Hubby had to really talk fast to convince me to get one a couple of years ago. Today I think he is a genious! With the generator we can, watch TV, cook meals, heat water for tea and yes, use the computer!
(later)
It’s 12:30 AM. We finally got our power back.
Shubi was very ill today. She is failing fast. I’ll be calling the Vet first thing in the morning. Our hearts are breaking. Please say a little prayer.
🙁 I will be hoping for the best for Shubi.
May Shubi, and you as well, be at peace.
I’ll be thinking lots of you both–and remember what I said when we talked yesterday. Shubi will let you know when the time is right. Be strong, Mom, and be assured that you are doing everything you can for your little lady! Love you, Mandy
My heart goes out to Shubi and you 🙂
I’m so sorry the pain you are going through with Shubi… you are both in my prayers
