The eldritch powers of electricity have been returned to me -- as of 15 minutes ago. I saw some strange people sneaking around the backyard. Turned out to be Georgia Power. They claimed they rang the bell and didn't get a response. It occurs to me that ringing a bell that runs on electricity -- and, frankly, didn't work well anyway -- was not the best option.

I have air conditioning. I have fans on in the rooms that have ceiling fans. I am collecting dirty clothes -- and after all the sweat, they are dirty clothes -- to start laundry.

There are still some areas of Savannah lacking power, but we were among the last areas in Savannah proper to have power restored, so it may be completed by tomorrow. At which point, the people who did all this can go help other parts of the state -- like Jeff Davis county which is still 90% out -- to reclaim the benefits of the modern world.

Keep your fingers crossed that the other house sells soon. I can't afford solar panels until it does.

I don't remember inviting her. Right now we're dealing mostly with rain. The 50 mph winds are due early to mid afternoon.

ETA: the tornado sirens just went off (20:45). I've only heard them in movies before.

We don't have a tornado room set up yet, so we're in the hallway with all the doors closed. We grabbed office chairs, a water bowl and pee pad for the dogs, and put up a baby gate at the end to keep the dogs with us. The house is brick -- which may not matter if the funnel is big enough -- and there's no glass that can get to us directly here.
