Gone with the Wind

Yesterday a storm came rolling in with 70mph winds along with it. We lost power at our apartment which meant it got really cold... I cuddled up on the couch with a bunch a blankets to keep warm, and then about 6:00 that night the power came back on. A lot of our neighbors are still dealing with no power. Weber State cancelled classes because students were getting hurt walking to and from classes. The Union building ended up with some damage, along with a lot of cars and trees.

In our neighborhood the wind uprooted a lot of trees and broke some windows, but luckily didn't do any damage to our cars. We probably ended up with the least amount of damage, and the least amount of time without power, which I was grateful for!

We were happy that we were prepared with flashlights, a lantern, a portable gas stove, and canned food. Its nice to know that we are prepared in an emergency, no matter how short lived it is.
