OMGOMGOMG GUYS.

We have power again ♥♥♥♥♥♥

See, there was this freak storm last night, straight winds of 60-70mph, and it took down a bunch of branches off our trees--including a 20-25ft one that yanked the main power line to the house right out of where it connects to the roof. So power went out last night, no AC, no phone, nothing. No AC in Nebraska in July sucks. ^^;

The power company still hasn't been out, but connecting the line to the house I guess is homeowner responsibility (this is something I hadn't known), so we had a private electrician out to get the power line hooked up again. OPPD will still have to replace the line as there's now no slack at all, so a good wind could yank it again. And I'm going to have to have the tree damage repruned, which we *just* had done in spring. So argh.

But WE HAVE POWER AGAIN YAAAAAAY. And apologies, but I've just skimmed LJ stuff posted since last night, so let me know if I missed anything big? :x ♥

Oh, and after the freak storm and the normal thunderstorm after? Rainbow. A double rainbow even. :| The double was just faint, though, so I'll not be posting any videos about it being omg so intense. :p
