Power outage

Last Thursday was an exciting day. Around lunch time a crazy storm blew in. The thunder was super loud and we couldn't see through the rain. I was worried the trees in our yard would blow over because the wind was so strong. The storm only lasted about 10 minutes but our power went out. At first I thought it would just be out for a little while but after about 5 hours I was pretty sure it wasn't coming back any time soon. We checked online and 14,000 people were without power in Brunswick.

Dinner was interesting since we basically just ate whatever was in the fridge that we could without cooking it. We checked online and they thought the power would be back on at 10pm. Mike found out why we didn't have power when he came home from work. Our street was closed to through traffic and he saw that a big tree had fallen at the end of our street and knocked power lines down.

That night was interesting. I just had pb&j for dinner and mike had cold hot dogs. We lit some candles and got flashlights and sat and played Sorry and Uno.

The power didn't come back on at 10 so we went to bed. When we woke up in the morning we still didn't have power or water. After a rough day and a rough night we went to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast :)

We spent the morning out of the house and when we went home a nap time we were happy to see that the power and the water were back!
