10.30.2012 Day 1 - After the storm.

We lost power early last night, just after 8pm. It was warm and the kids had been bathed so we cleaned up by flashlight and went to bed.

The wind banged into the house, wave after unsettling wave, and we noticed flashes of a strange bluish colored lightning which we later learned were arcs from exploding electrical transformers.

I went out early in the morning to survey the damage and hang out in the studio and made this drawing from residual storm energy. Grateful that we suffered no major damage and unaware of what was happening beyond my yard, I was confident everything would soon be put in order. That night, by candlelight, we fried pizza in the fireplace and read stories out loud. School is canceled for the next two days.
