or rather… internet-less at home. After experiencing some of the most fantastic thunderstorms I have ever witnessed on Long Island, I was faced with the bitter truth — it had blown out our cable, and therefore also our internet.

I caught my parents looking out over the torrential downpour battering our street, but was also struck by the same sense of nostalgia. It was a rainstorm straight out of the Philippines.

Thankfully, we still had power.

Maybe it will be back once I get home tonight.
