You never really realize how much you depend on cable, internet, and cell service until the cable and internet are down and you have a whopping 2 bars of 4G service. (I do get 5G if I go to the driveway, which is something I guess?)
Storm came through at 5 last night, lasted all of 15 minutes, power wobbled but held, but cable and internet noped out. ETA on restoration was 9:15PM, then 1AM, and now we don't have a restoration estimate at all.
Mind you, this is far better than having no power or air conditioning. But damn, when you use the television as background noise during the day - IT'S REALLY FREAKY QUIET IN HERE.
At least I have something on tap today so I'm not just sitting around being weirded out by the silence. My favorite local bakery is celebrating Swiss National Day, so I will be popping over there to see what that is all about. My brother says it's gonna be cheese and knives, LOL. I just love any reason to go to that bakery.
I remembered the little emergency radio and I've got that on with the local news station on and seems that we really lucked out on this storm. County has several thousand without power, and I'm guessing that has to be impacting the cable restoration. At least the heat has broken and the crews have decent weather to work in. 77° and low humidity right now, not bad at all if you have to be working outside.
Well, I'm gonna go enjoy this weather and see all about Swiss National Day! You have an awesome day.
