Default Crazy storm 11hrs with no power

Wow, anyone else in Central Ab lose power last night??? I guess lightning hit the transformer station that services our road and we were out of power for 11 hours. I've never seen a storm like that before

What a night, I had a bad feeling when the lights went out so I set my cell phone alarm clock... Thank GOD my sump is behind my tank and not under it, I ended up getting up every 30 minutes so I could take a bucket of water from the sump and dump it into the display and repeat for 10 minutes, then lay down for 30 minutes snoozing and back up to "shovel" more water into the display (where it would overflow into the sump) and thus keep some semblance of water movement.

11 hrs without power and not a single casualty, but man am I tired.
