@ 11:00 am: First wind just blew in, all has been very still out there. Not much sound from birds or bugs.
@ 11:45 am: rain started. Went to the village for beer & wine.
@ 1:00pm:got the candles and lighters out.
@2:45 pm:Â rain is picking up a good deal.
 @ 4:00 sh pm: the rain started coming down a bit “harder and we had a little power flicker that caused us to lose the internet for a sec.
5:00 pm: HUGE flash out our window and that humming sound we hate to hear. Power Is Lost at our transformer.
6:00 ish pm: With the power out we decided to go get something to eat in Newark. We noticed that everyone had power but us.
Then we saw the power truck coming down our road YAY .
Hope to have power when we get home.
Update, everyone had closed up their shops. It appears that the gov called a state of emergency. Everyone off the streets by 7:30 pm.
On the way home: another update, southern Delaware has a tornado on the ground. Winds will be kicking up here very soon.
No warning like that for us yet, thankfully.
We took a photo of the Big Elk River on our way home. Â It is starting to swell, but is not very bad yet.
@ 6:45 ish pm: we arrive home to see the power guy still up in his cherry picker working on the wires in the pouring down rain. Our house was still dark. Â But a little while later we had lights and internet again.
