It's not every night you look out your bedroom window and see sparks falling on your next door neighbor's car and your garage. The fire department came by (because in the middle of my 911 call, the power was cut, including the power to my "Internet" phone line - thanks CenturyLink) but found no downed wires. Shockingly, an Xcel truck rolled VERY quickly (maybe the prospect of a downed line brings up the urgency) and it took the professional all of 10 seconds to point to where the wires that shouldn't ever be touching were almost fused together. If wires have to be replaced, I'm pretty sure that means no more power for me and the other four houses until some time tomorrow. Fortunately I still haven't bought any new perishable food to ruin in my new fridge? My phone still works, at least, but it looks like it might be radio silence from me until the power is back on or I'm at work in the morning. Usually this would be the best reason to leave the house and hit Transmission but I reallllllllly gotta get up early and this seems like a real opportunity for some quality sleep with all the rain noise and absolute lack of electrical light.
