Stormy Monday

V pondeli se prez nase udoli prehnala vichrice.  Podle zprav vitr skoro dosahl stupne hurikanu.Tisice lidi byli (a jsou) bez elektriny a neobeslo se to bez skod.  Nam vypadla elektrina v pondeli v sest rano a teprve v utery v devet vecer byla obnovena.  I kdyz mame kotel na drevo, neni nam to moc platne, protoze teplo je rozvadene elektrickym "fenem" Nastesti v loznicich v prvnim patre bylo celkem ok, protoze teplo stoupalo i bez tlaku. Bez elektriny take nemame vodu, protoze ji ze studne privadi elektricka pumpa, take sporak je elektricky a pak uz zbyva jen obava,jestli vydrzi dva plne mrazaky a rybicky ve dvou akvarkach :) Dcera bydli primo ve meste a tak meli stesti , byli bez elektriny jen asi 4 hodiny. Takze jsme u nich pobyli v pondeli vecer a zvladli jeste kino, aby jsme se nenudili. V utery jsem u nich "uradovala" cely den, pripravila pro vsechny veceri a tak jsme se tam navecer sesli opet v cele sestave. Nastesti, jak uz jsem psala, nam v utery v devet vecer telefonicky oznamili, ze elektrina je obnovena i kdyz jak jsem zjistila pozdeji,  jen v horni casti skoro 5km ulice, kde bydlime.  Chudaci "spodni sousede" byli stale bez elektriny.  No a aby toho nebylo malo, dnes, ve stredu , uz zase radi vitr na novo, cele rano padal snih, ktery se ted nastesti promenil na dest. Jeden strom minul tesne nas dum, kdyz se v pondeli v pulce prelomil a tak se jen modlim, at tu dnesni vetrnou bouri prezijeme bez uhon.

Near-hurricane force winds battered our valley Monday. Thousands of people were without power. We lost our on Monday morning and it was restore on Tuesday at 9 pm. For us it means no heat and no water, which is very essential. One tree snapped in half and fell, missing the house just by few inches.   Luckily our daughter lives in town and their power was out for only 4 hour, so we spent Monday evening there, went to see a movie and return  to semi-warm bedrooms on thee first floor, where the heat was still able to rise from our wood furnace. The air is force through the house with an electric blower so the main floor was already about only 13 C. I spent most of Tuesday at my daughters house,  made dinner for everyone and we all gathered there again in the afternoon. We've got a phone call from the Hydro company that our  power is back on at 9pm. Yay!  Hooray!  Then,  there was snow this morning, but  is  raining now. Still blowing pretty strong and warning was issued for another stormy day. I am trying to stay positive and hope we'll survive with no damage.
