Thunderstorm

[LizStreithorst]

It didn't last long but it was violent.  I got about 4" of rain in each of my WS containers.  The power went out so I opted for a nap in the fish room.  that wasn't easy as I had a Chow on top of me, a rat terrier on my head and a Lhasa Apso between my legs trembling like a vibrator.  Finally I gave up and took a nice bath.  It's back on now.  It was only off for 1/2 hrs and I wasn't worried because it tried several times to come back on before it succeeded.  It was an overload of some kind not a down line.  I did all I could to help it, which wasn't much.  With heat indices around 110 everyone had their AC going and they take a lot of power.  I turned mine off until it came on and stayed on. 

I wish I understood better how these things work.  My neighbor managed the power plant down the road for years before he retired.  He knows everything.  Next time I see him I'll ask.

Well, at least you got some rain....and it should have cooled it down a bit ....
