Unpredictable weather

Lately, the weather is so unpredictable. One minute it could be sunny outside, then very soon followed by thunderstorm and tornado warning. Last night, while having dinner, our electricity power went out. With the black clouds coming in, for precaution, I took the kids down to the basement with a flash light. I immediately transformed myself into supermom, pretending it's fun to hide out (in the dark, with spider net around...yikes...).

We were down there not too long, but Yoshi wouldn't want to go back upstairs, knowing we have no power, and security alarm was beeping. He had no choice but to follow me later on. Our power didn't come back till 1a.m. Everyone is fine, just without power, it really left us nothing to do in the darkness. I think Nori cannot stand a minute without his favorite TV....^_^ My poor breadmachine, it was in the middle of preparing dough (& bread baking) while power shut down. We end up getting a loaf of bread in store...

Well, compare to people who suffered in other states with all these bad weather (or those during Japanese earthquake), our power outrage is NOTHING. It did gave me a glimse of the scary feeling during the disaster. Hope things will get better for everyone else......
