Glad to hear it abner........ the real tough part of the storm hit us between 3am and 4am..... I leaped out of bed when I heard this crashing sound..... I swear it sounded like a car was tumbling down the street...... I looked out and didn't see a thing! lol..........
The night was rough, wasn't it? I kept waking up when the wind howled and prayed for the safety of my sleeping kids. We lost our TV cable and DSL connection late last night. The power is still off - about 16 hours now. We were really fortunate though. All we have is broken limbs to clean up. All our trees held up, the stream didn't flood, and I don't think the basement got wet. That's next on my list to check out, since my sons are too scared to go down there alone.
Schools are closed today, and DH is working from home today so he can be on hand to help with cleanup. There are thousands without power this morning, but the sun is shining and things look a lot better by daylight. We'll still need to be careful under the trees, as the wind is gusting right along.
