The Storm

Today, California got hit by a rare October storm. This storm had a lot of energy from a super typhoon that hit Japan last week, and it dumped a lot of rain today on our state. As many of you know, I live in the Sacramento region, in Northern CA. We got nailed. Trees down, wires down, trees catching fire due to the wires and transformers, traffic accidents, including a spinout that I witnessed at 6:30 this morning near my apartment complex. The power went out at my apartment for a few minutes. It was down a lot longer at my work; over 2 hours. But power is back on, and seems to be staying on.

Tomorrow, I am traveling to Salt Lake City to see my daughter and grandson. Little Jonny is having surgery on Friday to correct the problems with his eyes. We've been trying to make this happen for almost 2 years now. FINALLY! Everytime someone mentions the surgery, he tells them he wants me there. Well, he will have his wish. I think my being there will help Diana, as she is really getting nervous about her little man having to endure surgery on his eyes. I don't blame her.

I mention the trip in this posting, because I may be traveling right through the storm that just pounded us here in Sacramento. I am hoping most of it is long gone by the time I start out tomorrow.
