Whew! Last Night was a scary night. The storm that came thru Minors Lane really had hit us hard. The wind came thru and knocked several trees over. Lightning hit this tree across the street from us and the transformer blew because the tree caught on fire of course. Well, it knocked out the power. Trees were everywhere. After 2 hours electricity came back on finally on our side. The other side was still out. Well, once it came back on my dad went to turn on his television that was in the living room. He heard a popping noise. Well, nothing that was on the entertainment center would turn on. My dad was beginning to get mad. So I thought I would take a look and see if it was the surge protector that was hooked up. Well, it wasn't that. I tried the outlet in the kitchen and it worked. I had my dads girlfriend unplug this freshener thing that was hooked up. Well, she went to unplug it and a big flame shot out from the wall several times. The flame flew up the wall and back down. It was quite scary. So I ran out the door and went next door. I called the fire department. One of the guys that was sitting next door said that he seen the flame shoot out of the roof of the trailer. That really scared me. So IM on the phone with them and they finally came several minutes later. I had to get my dog on the leash. She didn't like that too well. She thought my hand was a piece of steak or something another. It hurt like hell. So they finally came and they had told LG&E to turn off the electricity. LG&E even took the box where we couldn't turn the electricity back on. They told us that they would not be turning it back on until we had that whole trailer rewired. Well, the trailer is older than I am. It was built in 1973. That trailer just isn't save to live in at all. So now we are looking to move. That was enough to scare the shit out of anyone. But now we are staying with my grandmother. It isn't too bad but it isn't nothing like being at home doing what I want to do. You know how that is. No place like home. I guess having power only on one side over powered or something. It seems like I was having a dream or something. But I think this has been the worst day of my life in awhile.
