Anyone here in the SLC Davis area are likely having the same issues....planned for a longish run this AM, but that plan went south due to the wind storm. So no run, just good highlights to share. 12:00am-My husband came home from work to take down the tramp, then went straight back. 4am-My 8 year old daughter came into my room to report bombs going off. Calmed the delusional girl down and sent back to bed. 4:30 am- I'm thinking I'm the delusional one as I witnessed "bombs" going off all over the valley. Electric explosions all around, counting one in my yard that woke me up. 6am- I notice our 30 foot pine tree decided it was time to un-root itself. It landed perfectly inbetween our home and our neighbors home without damage. I take a shower as the electricity goes out. I realize I don't have a towel or clothes around. Fun scavenger hunt in my birthday suit. 6:30-All three kids and I watch all the wind out the window and see things flying around and hitting our window. 7:30 We realize "the flying things" are parts of our roof and shingles. We also notice weird shaped fans and things that belong somewhere on our roof. 900-Kids go to school and see many trees, powerlines and ambulances around. Someone at the school says you can stay, but we have no power or heat. We leave. 9:30- My 5 year old gets excited and thinks toys from the North pool are going to start blowing into our yard. I tell him that won't happen as we witness a yellow music player blow past our window. I hear him squeel, "It's starting!!!" This is nothing compared to other places that actually have natural disasters that are much more serious and scary. Sometimes stuff like this has to happen in Utah to keep us all in check:) Alas, no run today. To those of you who braved the wind, I salute you.
