Power was out about 40 minutes, but it was all the activity that concerned me. Generally you don't have two fire engines, an ambulance and the Sheriff all within a short time racing up and down Morse Blvd. Power was even out in Lake Sumter Landing Town Square. I can hear music now so things were just delayed for a bit for Octoberfest.
As Mike and I were dining on the lanai, one of our resident squirrels was out there.... I wonder just what part that little beastie played in all of this...
You didn't suffer a power loss in your area, Gracie?

Lots of helicopters buzzing above us during the outage too. Or maybe the same one going back and forth...

The wife is babysitting out of town for a couple of days and I'm on my own. As all this was happening, I was just putting a bowl of Spaghetti-O's mixed with bologna in the microwave. Unfortunately, we didn't lose power.

(Actually, I could have made something but I was lazy)
