MontanaMatt: Ended up being about 30 hours without power. Could have been much worse. And I learned that the girls across the street are safe. When the winds hit the predicted 70 mph... everybody in the building agreed to lock the doors and go home. So the building was empty. Unfortunately when the roof came off and landed in the middle of Dickerson Pike it landed on a car. It sounds like the woman driving that car got pretty beat up.... but she's going to be okay. And when I got home I learned that for some as of yet unknown reason my TV didn't survive. It worked fine the evening before the big weather.... but now it's completely dead. I checked the gfci and the breakers and all were in order. There is a reset button on the back of the TV... and of course I pushed that with no positive results. I guess it's possible that my TV had just reached the end of its life.... but it was less than 10 months old.... and even though it's hard to buy anything of quality these days I can't imagine it dying that soon. And it's hard to believe timing like that anyway. 🤷♂️
MontanaMatt in reply to BugHug: I think probably so.... but I haven't gotten that far yet. And I'm not sure I will. I bought it at the local Walmart.... and I recently swore on a stack of Bibles I'm never walking in that building again. For any reason! But I might have to. If it's under warranty it seems kind of stupid for me to eat a $200 TV because I despise the fckrs. That's expensive Pride! 😂

Jayzus that sounds terrifying - a roof flying off hitting a car!! Sorry about your TV. Was it under warranty?
