Hi everyone. Just got back online. Had really bad storms last night, and we lost cable and internet.

My daughter was pumping water all night as she lost power and the sump pump wouldn't work. At least we didn't lose our power this time. :) Missed by a quarter mile..

Gramp had to run to Home Depot and get them a generator. Lots of trees down in the area, but it sure is nice to finally have the TV and internet working again.

Sheesh what weather, and more strong storms predicted for this afternoon... Cold front, donchano? Sighhhh...with every good thing, comes a threat. Best find the box with most of the candles before the storm front. Of course I have no idea where the candle holders are.

Stay Safe, Grannie.

Wild weather out in Utah too, Provo, the town next to me, had wind gusts to 90 that took out power to large swaths of the town, probably 100,000 people without electricity for an extended period as trees took out power lines. Some areas lost 80% of their old trees.

Cheers.

p.s. Just for Grins -- and to be thankful for problems you don't have...

Heavens, gran ! Y'all are having some rough weather this year. Do stay safe and remember everything you've ever heard about how dangerous lightning can be.

BTW, been meaning to ask for days, how is the stop smokin campaign going ?
