‘Morning y’all.

I’ve got an hour before the HVAC techs get here.

Storms rolled through last night, cutting intraweb tube connectivity, snapping power poles, downing trees, and some property damage, including a house fire set by lightening knocking a power pole onto a house. Rainbows this morning, however, and so far the only injury seems to be a youngster struck by lightening (sometimes it just ain’t your day).

It could have been much worse. I understand that Dallas was hit by the same system, too.

Now, I expect that someone today will try to drive through floodwaters and get swept away. That seems to be the way it goes. Newcomers to the area, and for that matter some long-term residents, don’t recognise the danger of rushing water vs. automobile.

But all in all, it’s all good.
