Hectic 16 hours

  • Power went out around 6:00 p.m.
  • NINE power poles taken out by high winds, possibly a tornado.
  • Ann McGrath said it was a tornado.
  • I drove by the area where the poles were down and it was about one mile stretch of damage.
  • Customers kept coming in, even though we had no power.
  • They seemed to fail to understand that we had no power either and sometimes got “persistent”.
  • We locked the doors at 7:00 and put up a sign.
  • Power was returned around 10:00 p.m.
  • We did not make the news.
  • This morning I had to fix the internet because the ATM is hooked up to the net and there’s no land line there anymore.
  • I had to get the cash register fixed. There was a corrupted file in the system and Ruby’s Help Desk was s l o w   a s   H E L L .  We are up and running though.
  • Changed the fish tank filter.
