It’s a’stormin’ out there

Posted By Sarah Blaskovich in Square Pegs on June 11, 2009

If it was hard for you wake up this morning, you weren't alone. As you ventured out, many stoplights hadn't woken back up from power outages -- and the damage might continue. But the lightning dancing in the sky had that horror-movie effect on us: While we should have taken cover, we flung the doors open and watched, delighted. Did you get any photos of the storm you'd like to share?

Wow - This guy has the best photographs of the city I have ever seen. They all have such a surreal quality to them.

Charcoal lighter fluid is a less effective accelerant during a downpour than I had hoped, lack of eyebrows notwithstanding...

I could show you how to make napalm, but that really isn't doing anything to keep your peeplze down, so maybe not.

I realize that Oncor has been terribly busy and judging by all the tweets I have received since the storms passed through, that its communications folks have been working in overdrive. I did feel I needed to pass along a recent tweet that just got us all laughing here. "oncor: Customers without power through the night are encouraged to turn on porch lights to assist crews in identifying problems."
