Pro tip: it is not advisable to flip the lights off to the basement while the wife and kids are down there.

Me, returning to basement: why are the flashlights on?

wife: because the power went out?

me: yeah, about that…

how bad was the wind

Not bad yet. About the same as we've had for the last couple hours.

Just lost power in Beaverdale. It looks like a small line behind the main storm is moving through.

I'm in Beaverdale as well, never lost power. Must be isolated to your area.

That's what I used to think. 7-8 hours sleep is best and normal for most people. I think there are some people that just don't require as much sleep though. And that's OK if they are OK with it.

Hope you all are staying safe.

6-8 is great for me. I can survive a couple days of 3-4, but that wipes me out. On the 2nd, I'll fall asleep at random times.
