no power

So we, here in Memphis, are without power and have been without power for 23 hours. We had a huge storm go through last night. We had straight line winds and it was raining so hard at one time that we couldn't see the house across the street! It was nuts man. It started raining about 4:45 and the power went off around 5. We waited for about an hour, hoping the power would come back on, but no such luck. So mom, dad, me, chels, and chels's 2 friends danielle and kayla all went out for dinner. Turns out the power lines that go to our house had a tree fall on them. It's 3:45 and still no one is out there working on the power lines. Go figure! We came back and decided we would play board games. So that's what we did. We played Blurt twice and Uno 5 times. :) Dad and mom placed first and second at blurt (respectively) both times. And then Chelsea's friend Kayla won Uno (we were keeping score). After that I took Chels, kayla, and danielle over to danielle's house (who was also without power) so they could stay the night. This morning me, mom, dad cleaned up the front yard and some other various chores. We drove around the neighborhood a few times. There are a ton of trees down and branches. A couple houses down from where I'm house sitting a huge tree fell and landed right in front of the house, but still broke some of the windows. The house I'm at is fine. :) So tonight I work at 4:30 and I gave mom and dad the key to the house so they can chill here in the A/C with the tv and wireless. :) Hopefully they'll get power on soon to our house, if not, it's lucky we have a place to stay. Needless to say it's been an interesting weekend so far.

For those of you who don't know, I took the LSAT on Monday. It was mentally draining. I was there for 6 hours. I think I did ok though. We'll see. I take the GRE on Monday. I need to look over my math for that. I think I'll do that tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
