Natty Bumpercar: whoa bumper podcast this is natty bumper car and i am exhausted i don't know if you heard but we had a little touch of the weather here in the area around headquarters and by the area around headquarters i mean everywhere all around up and down here and there it was miserable uh been without power for a week now or five days i don't even know what today is uh i had to decamp and move further north uh it's very exciting time uh headquarters made out pretty well lost a few shingles had a storm window break which i guess is appropriate since it was a storm had a shutter fall off the house and uh that's what actually broke the window somehow the shutter it flew off the house and then flew back into the house and uh crash smash bang clang cling glass everywhere broken glass everywhere uh we heard broken glass we thought oh no the vehicles have been trounced by some uh tree a limb maybe maybe something flew into them so i ran out because i didn't know what else to do you know figured i'd have to put a garbage bag is that what i don't know what you do when your car window breaks but i figured that's what i was going to have to do and i went out and i couldn't really see because it was really dark and so i ran around each car and i would just tap each window tap tap tap tap as i was running in circles around the car uh to make sure that the windows were intact and they were all fine and i and i couldn't see any broken glass so i ran back in and i was like there's no broken glass i don't know what's happening and and she was like uh wifey was like no there was broken glass and i was like i don't know and then you know i ran back in and i was like there's no broken glass you know you're uh so we went to bed early because he lost power pretty early and um you're just kind of laying in bed and it's there's it's it's it sounds like there's trains going by your house like it's very loud and uh then the explosions was the craziest part uh and it turns out those were the uh the transformers they're called not like the you know big hollywood production movies but like i guess they're boxes that do things with electricity that help me to have lights and heat and such and uh but they were through the night like it was crazy and if you looked out in the clouds it was it was like a light show it was like a firework show and um we tried we stayed three days with no power and then finally uh it was too much to bear we gave up and we had to wait for the roads to be cleared and we traveled north and we're fine and we're safe and we're exhausted and weary and we hope that you are doing well as well
