Mother Nature’s Wrath
This last weekend was a little scary. I woke up to a loud pop and sparks flying around my bedroom at 1 am Saturday. Turns out a power surge burst two extension cord/surge protectors in my house. Once I figured out what happened, I pulled them both and threw them out back into the snow. Take that! Then I piled more blankets on top of Mags and me and went back to sleep. My power returned around 8 am.
What a frightening way to wake up. I consulted an electrician and he explained how that happened and that I was okay to stay in the house.
I was concerned that my computer was destroyed. During inclement weather or horrible fire seasons, I must be able to work from home. Thank goodness everything is fine and I can still do everything I need from my house.
With all the weather disasters happening all over the globe, I feel very lucky to live here in the high desert. If I’m prepared, and I think I am, I can weather these storms with relative ease. Stay safe out there and keep extra blankets.
