We also were w/o the lights and the heat and the hot water. Amazing how spoiled we've become as a society. But We did have one romantic dinner of salami and crackers in front of our fireplace as we burned our phone book. That is memorable. electricity, yay!

I like my air conditioning and computer too much! We’re heading for storm season here in Brisbane and I’m hoping for very few power cuts. I like my air conditioning and computer too much!

We were very lucky up here, just some flickering lights. Whew. Wow I’m impressed your power was restored so quickly! We were very lucky up here, just some flickering lights. Whew.

I'm so glad you're all okay. We got some of the rain and quite a bit of wind but nothing like that. At least you didn't blow all the fuses with the dishwasher, washer, and dryer all chugging away.

This is only the second time in 7 years at this home that it has gone out. We do have huge trees across the street and behind us. It freaks me out when there is a windstorm. I think we have had our share this year!! Our power came back on at 1 am though, so I am thankful for that, and no trees fell in our neighborhood, just branches. Hey, did you hear there might be snow before the weekend is over? What fun......... Oh Mel, I thought it was bad when our power went off at 7:45 pm.

The only working telephone is upstairs and it takes here a while to make it up the stairs - so I don't want to call unnecessarily. I do hope they get it on soon, if it isn't already. We're leaving Sunday morning to the Great Pacific Northwest! Hoo-Ray! Last I talked to my Mom (around 2pm?) she was still without electricity.

I'm tired of them, they seem to keep coming one after another. We've been without power more times in the last 6 weeks......but I'm going to stop complaining! We didn't get a tree in our roof or on our car. We didn't lose power this time. Yeah, now that we have batteries, flashlights, oil lamps, etc. I'm sure they'll come in handy, the next storm can't be too far away. But today sure was beautiful, the sun felt GREAT!!! Nothing like a big glass of bubbling Diet Coke to get the dustbunnies out of your head!! We are DC "fans", er, I mean, addicts, too! I ditto your feelings about storms!

Lots of damage down our way, too, but I slept thru it all. Can you imagine that?! And our old urban neighborhood is one that ALWAYS loses its power first but we've kept it all the way thru this time around. Thank the Lord for the little blessings, too. Amen. This has been one horrific week in my neck of the woods and the beautiful blast of sunshine we had this afternoon 'til it hailed so hard I had the lights on at 2 in the afternoon...well, that little bit of sunshine was a blessing, too.
