It started raining last night, shortly after Somara mowed the front yard. Maybe she triggered a rain dance.
Heavy storms with rain, lightning and thunder always mean one major thing…power outages because the grid here is so overloaded and fragile. It’s not quite Mexico but I swear, if a duck farts there’s a brownout here. At home, we recovered easily since it happened while we were sleeping. Work is another matter. First thing I had to do when I arrived was shut down the server lab until all the AC units for it go back on line. It isn’t too hot in there, just noisy which then leads to some who sit near it to close the door and amplify the problem. Hopefully Facilities will have this rectified by lunch time.
Meanwhile, we’ve had over two inches (three in some regions) and we’re under flood warning until 6 PM tonight. I’m not too worried. It’s when the raining ends. All this wetness will lead to an outburst of mold. Blech!
So those of you who don’t live in the area, there’s no reason to worry. If the SCLM decides to cover the weather here, they’re probably exaggerating and they’re bored with yesterday’s primaries.
