Stormy
After days of hot, muggy weather and no rain, the weather finally broke last night. Huge thunderstorms and torrential rain swept through the area last night.
Once it lifted, Darwin wanted to go to the gym, so off we went.
It was dark out, and we drove through a surreal landscape. Store lights were flickering, and passing cars threw up great gouts of water. The gym is open 24 hours, but when we arrived, we found the doors locked. A sign said they were closed due to power loss. The lights were on inside, and the sign had been printed by a computer, so they clearly had power of some kind, but all the gym's TVs were off, and some of the lights flickered.
This morning, we learned most of the businesses in that area of town were without power, which explained the eerie lighting. They're still waiting for power, too. We never even experienced a brown-out, though our power lines are buried.
Today the weather is fresh-scrubbed and clean and lovely out!
