Waking up on that Friday, I was a bit startled seeing the construction workers already on the job for the casino going in across the street from Kent. The workers almost seemed close enough to touch.
Later that day the storms came. I left work early, yet when I arrived home it actually seemed okay, so I finished up a few things and decided to go to the gym. The skys turned dark rather quickly and I almost wondered if I should stay home, but I went out anyway. After I was on the elliptical machine for a few minutes one of the staffers said we may need to go to the lockers. A little while later he did ask us to go in, but some didn't want to go and as they stayed behind, so did I (the staffers were all outside watching the storm). The rain was torrential for a few minutes, then it lessened again and I was able to safely make it home after my workout. By the time I got home and turned on the tv I realized how lucky I was. Many communities to the west, east, and south of me were hit, but I didn't even lose power. The winds continued to be strong that evening, which fascinated Koka.
