Fuck.
Yesterday morning we had an enormous windstorm rip through here.
Trees went down...several hit power transformers in the area causing several huge explosions, and 60,000 volts went through every house in my street.
We had no electricity for 29 hours - everything in my fridge is spoiled, and my computer (which I'd left on at the time) was cooked, along with my old monitor. Thank GAWD my TV was left unscathed. The huge surgeguard powerboard I'd bought for it and my surround system appears to have done the trick. My neighbours weren't so fortunate.
At least there were no fires or damage to trees/houses in my street. *wipes brow*
Electricity, eh? Master of us all.
