Power Outage and Gusty Winds
At some time between AM 3:17 and 4:10 a power outage, which may have been caused by the gusty winds lashing through Springfield, occurred. At AM 4:10 I was awakened by noises from my computer system. I extricated myself by tossing the comforter over me toward my feet. Then I slipped from my bed and into my sandals. I had some trouble keeping my balance, but I unplugged and turned off my system's surge protector, stumbled to the bathroom for a few moments, & upon returning--because the high-speed modem was still beeping--disconnected the phone jack. At AM 11:12 I felt the gusts had subsided enough. I have been online since, though there still are gusts billowing about. The power returned at AM 4:50. It is PM 1:06, and sunlight is back. What was an all-gray sky has given way to a partly cloudy sky. Brian A. J. Salchert
