I had quite the night tonight...
After classes today I was out with one of my friends...and she ended up running into another car...I figured that nothing else bad could happen today...but boy was I wrong. There is a really bad storm here on PEI today. The wind gusts are up to 130km/hour. I was on my way home and my heart dropped...right beside my house there was trees on fire (some had fallen into the power lines and started the fire)...about 100 feet away...and as my luck would have it the wind was blowing in the direction of my house. Then to make matters worse...the power went out. So in the dark I sat...with a fire really close by and was home all alone...I was not a happy camper. The power didn't come back on when they got the fire out...so my boyfriend and I (He had since gotten home from work) decided to go for a drive...as we didn't have the heat on in the house all day and it was freezing cold. We took a drive through town and the power is out everywhere, trees were down everywhere and there were fires in a lot of places. We ended up at my mother's place where we warmed up and then headed home. Since I got home the power has gone out 2 times..looks like it is going to be a long night still.... anyway...thanks for letting me vent...im still pretty shaken up from having that fire so close...
