   Whew!
Well. That was certainly an interesting three days. Full of nasty, strange thunderstorms and power-outages galore. On Tuesday there was a hurricane-like storm that forced me into the basement while I was home alone, with the power out. The power eventually came back on, but then yesterday there was another spectacular storm.
We were at a sushi restaurant waiting for our takeout when we noticed the thunderstorm coming in; we had been expecting it but hoped we would be home by the time it really got started. We sat by the window and watched the huge streaks of lightning. When we finally got our food and went out to the car, the storm was coming in hard. The wind was pretty bad to be standing outside in, so we ran for the car and took off for home, but got stuck in a parking lot just as the full fury of the oncoming storm front hit us. The wind was crazy. It was coming from a side of the parking lot devoid of trees, and it was blowing shopping carts across the lot. They seemed to be rolling along at breakneck speed on their own, since you couldn't see the wind. We made it around to the side of a building for shelter and only got hit by one cart which miraculously did no damage. We stayed by the building in the car for a while, and then the hail hit. It wasn't very big, but the wind was nasty, so we grabbed jackets and shielded our faces in case the windows broke. Eventually the wind died down and we made it home all right, but the power was out and it stayed that way until about an hour ago. ;;^_^ The dogs were scared to death, but once the storm was gone Czar calmed down. Chaucer never calms down, she's an Aussie.
Oh, and the sushi was delicious. The moral of this story is (ahem): "If you don't like tough food, octopus is not for you."
Jaa for now.
