OK I have to say it: Worst storm in some years


10 am turned into darkness, Water and Electricity were cut





Even though electricity to most areas was restored around 6 pm, at my house electricity was restored at 10 pm   
With weather turning extreme around the world, I'm wondering if this is the beginning of more to come

Fire season

We were having a Saturday Afternoon BBQ when we received a number of urgent calls "FIRE."   
The wind was not blowing into our direction, so we did not even notice the fire two blocks from the house.   
The firecrew had the blaze quickly under control.
