A tree down 2 houses away from mine.

On TV they are saying that there are parts of the city with no electricity. Meanwhile, 2 houses away from mine, a huge tree fell towards the street. When we bought the piece of land where my house was built later, this was part of the country and huge trees served as landmarks. My husband obtained the permit to cut 3 of them in the street in front of our house and plant smaller trees suited for a city. The rest of our block, 30 years later, still has those ancient trees. Many of them are not even healthy and none of them should be there. Once in a while, is winter, a tree falls on a house or car causing damage or, worse still, they fall upon someone killing a person. I have minor problems in this minute with this rain. Usually I have candles in every room. It is part of my preparation for a big earthquake. But during the last big rain I left candles on and I don´t have any more just in case. I like to keep some on at least in the bathroom. I promise I´ll go for candles as soon as this flood stops. Meanwhile I´ll stay at home. Tonight, after all, I´ll make a Spanish tortilla. I already have a caramelized onion. Now I´ll mylot a bit and then to the kitchen for my tortilla.
