power scare

it's raining, it's pouring. we were happily watching blades of glory when the lights flicker, we hear a weird sound, then no power. power came up again mark and i leapt to our feets. mark says: "put your shoes on babe" -- my first instinct was to check on vaughn. lights flicker again, weird muffled exploding noise, power goes out and goes back up again. i grab our flashlights from the cabinets, a match, my tea light candles and told mark to kill our power. so we sit in darkness as i write this [thank God my laptop is fully charged lol] and now i hear sirens wailing, getting closer. we were ready to call 911 but i think somebody beat us to it...not sure what's going on but i think the heavy rain is causing some short circuits in the power supply.

oh, lights are back up again. hopefully the fire fighters fixed whatever is causing this weirdness. i swore to myself i'm buying an emergency kit for situations like this. STRESS!
