okthis is my first time around electricity in like 5 days!! what happened you ask, lets go back to last thursday........
so, i come home from school to a HUGE storm. seriously, 80 mile winds, pouring rain, black sky, trees everywhere etc. and i find that my little sister and brother are both missing! i tried to call someone but the power was out and my cell phone had like no battery left. So then i look outside-there are about 4 power lines in the middle of my yard, two giant trees that knocked down my swing set :( and like braches everywhere. So of course my mom is out of town and dad's at work, but i call him anyway. Then after A LOT of panicking on my part, dad and little siblings get home.
fast forward to that night. Our sump breaks....then the backup breaks...then in the morining we find there is a foot of water filled up in our entire basement. o.my.god. so now we have no electricity, a lake in our basement and power lines in the back.
fast forward again, mom's home, we have a generator hooked to our sump and fridge, and our basement is basically empty becuase mold was growing on the carpet..YAY!
so after much suffering (haha yea not really) we got our power back last night!! unfortunatly, our house smells like old lettuce and the monkey house at the zoo. so i hope this never happens again..it. was. horrible.:D
