Last night, the weathercasters were talking about how Moriarty (east of Albuquerque) was getting a lot of lightning. I walked outside around 11 PM and sure enough, there was a lot of lightning off to the east. It looked cool, but like 'not a big deal'.
I went to bed around midnight. It's a good thing I had today (Friday) off because I woke up and my alarm clock was flashing, meaning the power had been off for a while. If this had been a work day, I'd have been late to work.
I'm not sure when the power went off and for how long - after all, I was asleep at the time. In calculating the time the clock had been flashing, it looked as though the power came back on around 4:30 PM.
Tonight, the weathercasters said that between the hours of 10 PM and 4 AM, the Albuquerque metro area got 1,000 lightning strikes. Wow!
Right now, 7:15 PM on Friday, it looks like we've got another storm moving in. Lots of wind and clouds.
Staying under cover,
Papillon
