Absolute clusterfuck.

Power went out at 6:00 a.m.

Two beloved trees down in my yard.

It looks like a tornado went through out here in some places. Trees down everywhere, just everywhere.

Tried 5 different routes to get to work... finally made it (THEY HAD POWER!)

Back home and it is COLD in here.

At least I have cell service.

I already booked a hotel up by work (NE Philly) for tomorrow night in case I'm still dark out here.

I"m grateful I could (finally) make it out to the highway and wasn't stuck in my house.
