I guess it fried a lot of neighbors’ modems.
Other people have plastic and bits of wires coming out the bottom. Ours is just not working. So maybe not a direct strike on the house, just sounded like it

I think I just caught the smell…but I’m also getting over lingering congestion so maybe it’s been smelly all day

there was such a dramatic arrival of smoke at the east end of the park yesterday afternoon. Suddenly the wind picked up and in minutes we were socked in. It's a little better today. I hadn't realized we were within reach of this particular smoke, so i was confused for a bit til someone explained it

Another highlight: seasonal cafe owner took the megaphone to announce that in the middle of this subarctic heatwave, their ice machine broke, & her staff is very much enjoying announcing “NO ICE” all day all the time 🧊

WELL, we’ve all been wrong
