It's just before 1AM. The power has been out for going on 15 minutes. I just got a new laptop battery this morning, I just didn't realize I'd be hard-testing it so soon.
It sounds like fireworks in slow motion as trees all around the house fall every minute or two. I've got a UPS beeping in the basement, and a non-functional alarm system chirping to let us know we lost power. I may need the wire cutters shortly to deal with that particular issue.
Here's hoping the morning finds us with everything intact. More as I'm able to post.
And it'd be nice if this cough went away. Shouldn't the cough medicine make you cough less instead of more?
