My son surely did enjoy a free day :) <br /><br />Silly: We truly can't function without power. It was so unfortunate, as people were coming to us as a refuge from their powerless homes. <br /><br />NoRegrets: That is exactly what I needed...a miner's helmet! <br />Things like this really do make us realize how much the community depends on us as a place to just BE, if nothing else :)<br /><br />MrManuel: I can't even imagine how hard those crews have been working. And there was so much coordination involved between the electric people and the tree people...lots of tangles.laura b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15086009761943858915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11494946.post-55444633447987858962011-12-06T19:01:29.171-08:002011-12-06T19:01:29.171-08:00I have a buddy who works for the electric company ...I have a buddy who works for the electric company down there and he has been working INSANE hours.

When I called about getting an estimate on my roof they wanted to know which of the hail storms had damaged it. We never get hail storms like that.<br /><br />Hope your power is back soon!secret agent womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763879283931347382noreply@blogger.com
