Well, I just got my internet connection back. I ended up having to sleep through the hurricane because my parents think it's possible to survive or something without electricity. I have some pictures of the aftermath that I'll try to post later, and a video of how dark my neighborhood was at night that I won't be posting because it has my voice in it. The most damage we received was the tiles of our roof being blown off. Surprisingly, we lost no plants in our front yard, so my dad was really happy over that. One side of our fence is part of a four way intersection with our neighbor's, and when a tree branch fell, it crushed part of everyone's fence except ours. Mre evidence that I rule. The one thing that was more unenjoyable than the loss of power, however, was actually sleeping through the hurricane. It was pitch black, the wind was howling as if it was inside my house, and it was getting hot to the point where I actually wanted to go outside to sleep in the breeze. I never made an announcement that I'd be gone for a few days over the hurricane because for some odd reason, I didn't think we'd get it :roll:. Anyways, here's some of those photos that I said I'd post later, but I'll just post them now instead because I'll probably forget.
The tree that 0wned everyone's fence except ours.
Outside (I'm inside, taking the picture through the window )
Front yard looking all windy. And a car that I think belongs to me
I don't know what the heck this is. I must have hit the button on the camera by accident or something funky like that.
Fence 0wnage, closer view
A snapshot of outside. You can see the camera-flash reflection off of some road signs
