This is not a fun storm I'm living through. The last time I experienced weather like this was during Hurricane Bob in Massachusetts in 1991.
My 30-minute walk home from work this evening was absolutely miserable! Umbrellas don't work when the wind's blowing at 50 mph, so I got totally drenched as I was fighting against the wind. There were times when I was trudging ahead leaning forward at quite an angle just to keep moving.
My apartment building lost power at around 6:00 pm when the transformer blew. It came on a couple of hours later, even though the power company originally said it could take until tomorrow morning. However, the worst of the storm is still to arrive in Daytona Beach, so I'm keeping my flashlight handy.
