Storm has passed
We had a wild and windy Saturday night, and none of us slept very well. The power went off around 9 p.m. on Saturday and came on again around 8 p.m. last night, thank goodness, so all of our freezer stuff should be fine. I was really really stressing about that. We had one small tree fall down, but it was a tree we hated and were planning to get taken down in the spring anyway. I wish it had taken some of its friends with it.
All in all, we were very lucky. We went out for a long drive this afternoon because we were all so bored and stir-crazy, and we saw some really epically huge trees down, blocking roads, suspended from power lines, etc. I was very surprised and pleased when the power came on last night — I was expecting it to be out for at least another day or two…

So glad to hear you and your family are ok. I love storms, but being where I live, I have never experienced a hurricane or tornado or the like – they sound so scary. Glad to hear your freezer contents were spared also – that would have freaked me out too, regarding the thought of losing stocked up food. Thanks for the update, and again, I’m really glad to hear you and those lovely girls of yours (and hubs too of course) are all safe and sound!

So happy hear nothing major happened! Thanks for the tip on keeping the freezer covered with a blanket. Nothing even defrosted a little!
