power went out

the storm vectors keep coming up from the south.....so I went out to the back porch and got my back-up power rig for the DSL modem.....the car battery jumper has a 12V outlet, and I can plug my camping inverter into that to get AC, and then I can get online.....I got that all rigged up and running, and the power came back on.....still raining....I've thought a couple of times about trying to walk between the showers, but getting soaked once today was enough....I'll add extra walks some other day, or whatever.....
