So last night was the strangest night! There was thunder which practically shook our apartment building. Then the lightning was so big it lit up the sky where I almost thought it was day time.
Then the power went out for an hour and a half! I'm talking Pitch Black darkness! I scrambled around the house trying to find a radio and a flashlight. Since we live with my parents now, I had no idea where their emergency things were. When I finally fond the flashlights, the batteries were dead! I had to search for the batteries so we could look for the radio.
My mom has one of those crank radios so I cranked it for 2 minutes straight because that was supposed to give me 15 minutes of radio time. It didn't! I got 30 seconds of radio time.
Luckily I brought with me a radio/light/emergency signal radio with me from my house so I found that and tuned in. Turns out there was an electricity surge that knocked out half the island.
And not only that! While the thunder and lightning was going on, and the power was out, there were funnels out in the ocean. People on the radio kept calling them tornadoes. I was freaking out because there was no TV to see it and we were stuck in the house.
Needless to say, May 2, 2011 was a very strange and freaky night. Kyra just called out my name the whole time because she wasn't used to the room being so dark. It was kind of cute hearing her say "mom?.....MOM!!!!". I know she was terrified, but it made me feel loved since she didn't call out for her dad. (hehehehehe)

I know! The thunder and lightening was crazy! I think I was the only that got woken up by that in my house! Everyone else was OUT! Luckily my side of Laie had power.
At least your daughter can say mom, mine calls me "bah". We're working on it!
