What's up with Heatwave??

[Shift838]

Heatwave was down for about 17 hours due to the Tornado that went right down the street my subdivision entrance is on.  Luckily, i'm deep enough into the subdivision that I did not get any damage.

 

We were out of electricity for about quite some time and no internet for almost 16 hours, but it's all back up and running now.

That's too damn close!!!

We also had a small one run thru and tore some trees down and knocking out power.

I am in Australia and we had a Blackout for 8 hours, apparently a transformer had a meltdown. Maybe the WEF are testing the panic levels of the population in different areas, or it is just bad luck due to normal weather. I remember much worse weather back in the 60's.

Ouch.  Glad you are ok, @Shift838!

I sometimes lose power for 35 seconds - then the Generac kicks in😀

I live in the UK and where I am, six street lights aren't working.

 

Edit: This is meant in irony to show the difference in American vs UK weather.  Ours is just miserable, yours is worrying.

And now they say the core isn't functioning in the Earth. Good grief

But your weather routinely goes below freezing. That's way scarier than a tornado.

Dunno about that JB, a tornado is something I've never experienced only ever seen 'em on the TV.  We did have a spell of below freezing just recently, I just had to put my big coat on.
