Stormy Night!

Temp has dropped at least 15 degrees in the last 30 minutes....wind is blowing and lightning is striking across the river. Hope everyone survives without power losses!

I'm not worried, I had my water shut off all day. A power outage tonight would just help to round it all out.

I got home at 630pm after leaving for work this morning at 630am.

12 hours out side.

I welcome plunging temperatures.

well i just got power back. in the big town of pana IL. a tree fell on the line coming to the house so it was only my house that was out. i thought man this is going to be a while. So i called Ameren and told them about it.

I have an ac dc converter that i hooked up to my dart to circulate water. i had to go to the shop and grab a new battery off the shelf. now three hours later the boys where there fixing it and i am back going again. i do not know how all the work orders go out but i do a lot of work for the local power boys on there trucks and tonight i got payed back. i can not say anything bad about them they had me going in no time flat i guess i am just lucky i live in the sticks and have ameren headquartes in my town.
