worst thunderstorm yet

We stayed home the whole day grading tests and watching "The Shawshank Redemption" on DVD. It rained and stormed something fierce today. Lightning and thunder tore through above us. The power kept surging out. At times, it went out completely. At least it didn't stay out for long periods of time like last Saturday (9 hours)...only a few minutes at a time at the most. Only time I ventured out was to get dinner at the cafeteria and some bread. Huge, cold puddles blanketed the sidewalks and soaked my flip-flops, while the rain beat up my little umbrella. L. had little appetite and a lot of nausea still. We finished up all the tests.
