It does but usually not all at once.
Yesterday was a gutter buster and the street in front of our house started flooding.
What happens is we have a large drainage ditch behind our back yard.
When the ditch starts to fill up, the streets which drain into the ditch begin backing up when the water level is equal to the ditch....
The water made it half way up the yard to the house before it started subsiding.
To make matters worse, the lights started flickering and finally the power cut out about 3:30pm.
So out come the candles and lanterns.
A few weeks ago I had ordered an emergency radio that has a crank on it, solar cells and rechargeable lithium battery.
That really came in handy.
The power was out about six hours.
I know it doesn't compare to you guys on the east coast dealing with Sandy but we rarely get power outages.
Of course I unplugged all my electronics like, TV's, computers, etc. to avoid any surges or spikes.
I plugged in my computer this morning and it was all screwed up.
Probably because it was on when the power went out.
The system drive got corrupted and a few other things got screwed up.
I had to run chkdsk which took about an hour to complete and
my AV program was fubared as well.
Finally got it working again about an hour ago.
The fun just never stops!
