Me think you added one too many zeros.:)g)

Yeah, so I watched the lightening show for a long time last night and of course then the electricity went out once, came back on and then went out again.... and came back on sometime while I was at work today.

When it got super windy/rainy, we could see huge sheets of rain coming in so fast and of course all the pool furniture ended up in the pool. Like Mike said, a roof from a building somewhere around us ended up on the light rail right in front of our place and the 5th floor windows were shattered.

The worst part of the night is when our fire alarm went off in our side of the building at 2:00am. The fire department came and found that the key was not in the fire box, like it should be. Anyway, we ended up sitting out on the patio with the cats for two frickin' hours til the alarm company turned it off!!! }:) Finally went to bed for a couple more hours. In the morning, the elevators still weren't working so I took the stairs by light of my cell phone. Obviously without electricity, the parking garage was pitch black so I got to use the cell phone again. Central looks horrible! What a crazy night.... think I'm going to take a nap now.
