The girls and I were enjoying the almost-end of The Enchanted Castle by Edith Nesbit, a free Kindle download (Parts of it are hilariously funny, but parts of it do drag on....), which something caught my eye outside the window in the storm.
At first I thought it was a streetlight. But, then, we don't have any streetlights. THEN, I thought it might be the moon. But, I reasoned, we were in the middle of a very strong wind, rain and electrical storm.
Only then did I holler out for Andy to come look at the fire on the power line. Eeesh.
We called '911' and Appalachian Power, and both made it out in great time. By the time they got here, though, the fire was out (I tell ya, that was some heavy rain!), but we wanted them to look it over just in case.
Its not much to look at today (look at the brown leaves), but the result is that that AP has put in an order to get all of the trees down that side of the yard trimmed up and off the power lines.
Oh my, that must have been scary to see that fire. Did you lose power? Glad you guys were safe!
