Nature's Fury

Couldn’t resist the Discovery Channelesque title. Here’s the update since you last tuned in . . .

We lost power at about 1:00 AM Friday and just got it back a couple of hours ago. Threw out all the food in the fridge. Other than that we’re fine.

I don’t have a lot to say about the storm itself. It was kind of nervewracking being up here on the tenth floor and catching 50-60 mph wind gusts (one side of our apartment faces east, the predominant direction from which the winds were coming). Some poor souls two floors down from us actually had a window blown out, but that was the only damage to the building (I’m just guessing, but since the window blew out, not in, I suspect they may have done something boneheaded like opened another window in the apartment and created a pressure imbalance).

Last night without power here we took Metro down to Union Station for dinner and then paid actual money for Underworld (Anne Rice meets The Matrix).

Anyway, it’s over, at least for us. Isabel is a belle no longer.
