So on Thursday at about 4pm. A HUGE storm rolled through. Tornado sirens and all. Well, we don't EVER get tornados in michigan. (I think 1 in 30+ years?) and it didnt even touch down. Hail stones the size of quarters, rained for 7+hours straight.
So it knocked the power off in my area. So that night, I call the electrical company (DTE). And got an estimate on when it would be restored. They said "It should be back up tonight by 11:30pm-midnight". Ok that isn't bad
Then I call on at Noon-ish on Friday, still no power. They now said "We are experiencing problems we didn't foresee and expect the power to be back on by 3:30pm-11:30pm" Sooo Midnight rolls around, I call again. "We estimate the power to be back on by 2-4am". 9am rolls by and I call for the last time. "We expect the power to be on by 6-8pm on saturday".
Luckily the power came back on just now at about 5pm. And luckily it was sunny so I could take my lizards outside for their UVB.
Bad part: Basement flooded with 3-4" on water because of the pump being off due to no electricity. So tomorrow I get to go through the basement and see what is destroyed. And I couldn't really feed the lizards for 3 days because they won't eat outside and not hot enough inside. (80degrees). Tried offering them some bugs, but wouldn't eat.
So their estimate was off by almost 3 days, pretty ridiculous huh?
Oh and the main part is. Since all this happened I couldn't work on the enclosure. Had way too much stuff to do due to the power going out. What a sucky weekend.
