Power

by Kristi on October 22, 2007 · 2 comments


The lights are starting to blink on and off…. Power surges? How long will our power last, you think, with these wild hurricane winds?

7 fires total going on… My Aunt Trish used to live right in one of the mandatory evacuation areas of Malibu. Luckily they moved! My Mom talked to my cousin Nicole and she said they were helping evacuate all the horses in Malibu. 🙁

I hope everyone knows where their flashlights are. Luckily we just carved pumpkins this morning so we definitely know where the matches and candles are! heehee!

Update: Gah! We do have a fire in our area!! Watch out 241 & 133 fwy areas… It’s gonna be a wild couple of days… Winds won’t die down until late Tuesday, I heard. I was wondering if earthquakes happen while other catastrophes are going on? That would be awful. I don’t know why I always think these morbid things.

yikes! now i’m thinking of the earthquakes too =[

our lights are flashing on and off as well – actually, it’s more of like a “if you blink, you’ll miss it” kinda thing where i keep saying “did the lights flicker or not?”

today, on our way home, i was in the right turn late on La Palma and i had to brake reeeeally hard because the streetlight came unhinged and swung downward and would have hit our car were it not for the bottom hinge keeping it on! on our way out, we saw a police car there preventing anyone from getting in that lane.

this wind is creeping me out =[

Nick takes Santiago Canyon to work… it was closed so it took him 2 hours to get there. He works in Foothill Ranch and they might get evacuated/sent home. But the 5 is closed in Irvine too… so he has no idea how he will get home.
