if you are living in the la area you will know what i am talking about. This wednesday,November 30th, winds up to 40 mph went through our town and raped our trees. It started at about 11 at night and didnt stop til morning. It was so loud that i had to go downstairs to get a pair of earplugs and it sounded like our house was getting attacked by ghosts.(if ghosts were to make sounds that is what they would sound like)
Next morning was a freaking disaster. OH and did i mention i don't have electricity??? meaning no lights.no internet, no homephone, no microwave, no cooking, well you get the point. but fortunately gas and plumbing all worked and i had a lighter. Had to make toast with a pan.i have no idea how i survived the whole day without electricity. >.<
outside was even worse. our trees in the backyard were all naked.we were considered lucky.the neighbors across the street weren't. unfortunately they had left their car parked outside and unfortunately a tree fell on it. All i heard the whole morning was a chainsaw being used to cut that tree into pieces.
walking to my friend's house i saw more damage that the wind had created.the creepy old house on the corner had trees surrounding it. They didn't make it. They toppled over the chainlinked fence and took the traffic light with it. school was canceled and most of the stores and restaurants were closed.
night time was even worse. we only relied on one flashlight and a super dim flashlight and candles. the candles were freaking tealight candles. not much light. sadly my friend didn't have a lighter so i had to strike a match (which i've never done before. took me forever.) to light the candle. Now you're wondering why i didn't light the gas with the match, because it is freaking short. so i have to use a wooden chopstick to light the pan. ugh. so much energy just to make toast again. night time was soo creepy. pitch dark and with not enough flashlights we had to stick together. do you know how scary it is just the use the restroom? *sigh* okay this is a super long post.alrighty. byes!
