So I HAVE to update about this. We had a biiiig storm today. And by that I don't mean like the sky darkens and lighting strikes the earth, I mean a rain and wind storm. Trees falling, bins rolling across the grounds! POWER OUTAGE. A tree fell on the power line to Halls and we were dark for a good several hours. It just came back an hour or so ago, I don't know the exact time as I wasn't here. It gets dark really early here too, so we only had minimal light and only for the first little while so everyone was in their living rooms where the biggest windows are just talking and laughing. Eventually Oana, Matt and I went down to Eddie Rocket's for food and LIGHT. We put money in the jutebox and ate huge burgers which made us look like fooooools, but were super tasty!

So my plans to work were foiled halfway through the afternoon for working on that essay as I was on JSTOR as the screen went into battery mode and the internet cut out. THANKFULLY the internet is back with the power and it's not another weekend of no internet because that SUCKED and was ALSO when I was working on a paper. I decided after that to work with my books and then realized--I couldn't SEE my books properly. Sort of a hazy half-light. Not conductive to, you know. Reading. Thus the trip into town. Plus I was hungry.

But! We get back from town to POWER and a great email from our JCR representative with PICTURES of the destruction. Along with a note about one of the bins speeding past reception. It's basically HILARIOUS.



This is the massive tree that fell all over the road. I don't think it's the one that killed the power, but getting around it was sort of interesting! Branches were falling like crazy, one almost took out my flatmate as he was coming in the gate.


All the cars had to be nice to eachother and get around it. Which they were shockingly good at!


Window got ripped right off the building!!



Bins on the roll!!!

Back to the essay! Since I can, yanno. See now.

We get monsoons like that out here in late july early august but it's always freaky still. Plus we get the 100 lightening strikes (cloud to groud) in an hour so we have to worry about fires too. -_-

I always have candles on hand just in case.

Glad no one was hurt!
