Power went off twice, no access to the site, and 200 notifications!

It rained so hard yesterday; so hard that I drove the car out of the garage for a free car wash. Then, the power went off twice because of the roaring thunder. No flashes of lightning though, but the rains were so strong that there was an instant ‘flooding’ in our lawn and the rain water from the downspout was filling up the bucket so fast.
When the power was back and stable, I immediately opened the site but I had the same experience again. The site was unstable and ‘too long to respond’. After so many trying, I gave up.
This morning, as soon as my son opened the Wi-Fi, I opened the site. True enough, it is accessible to my end. I checked on my notifications and I was surprised because I have more than 200 notifications. Well and good, let us start the ball rolling!
That was my day yesterday, how was yours?

@LadyDuck yes, the hail. usually, hailstorms come when it is terribly hot during daytime then there is a sudden and abrupt change in temperature occurs.

Free car wash, ha ha, such a nice idea to do when the rain is strong. You save 200 pesos from the car washing.
Anyway, how do you that kind of framing in your photo here, wow, that is nice I want to learn that, he he
