And the rain came down.

An interesting statistic: There are more babies born on Oct 5 than any other day of the years. The significance of the date is that it indicates that conception took place on the previous New Years Eve.
Yesterday the weather although not unexpected it was dramatic. The day was sunny and clear. Then shortly before 10 am I could hear thunder in the distance. As the time progressed the storm got closer and closer.. Then the rain started. I haven't seen rain that hard since I was in Australia. The poor cats were confused by the flash and all the noise. Finally through all the rain the time between the flash and the bang was less than one second. Then I lost my electric power. Darkness and pouring rain in the morning. No radio and no TV. so IO st and meditated. After about a half an hour the power came back on for about 15 minutes when the power went out again. Then it was all clear. The cats and the sun came out and the weather went back to normal.
Then the power came back on for good. Listening to the weather report at 9 last night I was told that the power was still off (after 13 hours) in parts of Fullerton and surrounding towns. I was lucky to get my power back so quickly.
Power outages are proof that we're all on this flight together.
