Lots of walking around today to find ANYTHING open with power! We lost power overnight (3 or 4 am) and it didn't come back on at my apartment until 1 pm.

Finally found a mall that was open with a grocery store, so I was able to pick up a couple things I had missed at the grocery yesterday.

Last night's wind was intense. Sadly, that meant for a dreadful sleep again. Woke up at 6 am, then was out of bed about 7:30, giving up to the storm. The wind was so strong, I was fearful the roof of the building was going to come off (and I'm on the top floor - corner facing where the wind was coming from direct), so that didn't allow for much rest ... plus I had stupidly gone to bed at 1 am (and I'm usually up without my alarm at 8 am or earlier) so I did myself in for the day.

I hope everyone made it through the storm okay lots of trees down here, lots of signs broken etc. City workers out in full force today cleaning things up.

City Hospital was also out of power for quite a long period - never good!
