Windswept nights
Well now, at least I can't complain about not hearing the tornado alarms - they certainly went off last night, with a vengeance! We were in the path of the big storms that swept through here, but aside from some roads flooding we got away with very little damage, and none of it to speak of. Never even lost power, and spent most of the evening watching So You Think You Can Dance in between the weather reports.
On the other hand, once the weather died down I got a phone call from my museum, and trotted over there to move various things out of the way of leaks. Some of it is just because old buildings will leak (and it indeed seems like my museum career is destined to always have a leak-fighting component!) but we suspect that some of the current construction may have something to do with a few of the puddles. At any rate, all's well and naught hurt but some cardboard.
All of this is very trying to my mom, who is envisioning me being swept off to Oz at any moment.
