No Power, No Problem

On Monday morning around 8am, a terrible storm came through our area with winds between 70 & 80 mph! We lost power around 8:30am and finally got it back on Tuesday around 10am. There are many people around us that still have no power and comed is estimating Friday morning for some of them to get it back...600,000 customers lost power during this storm! We did have water and could cook on the gas stove, but no air conditioning and lights. Thankfully my father-n-law was able to find us a generator for our refrigerator so we didn't lose any food. The four of us camped out in the basement to stay cool, but we managed. Now that I've "camped" in my house for 24 hours my life is complete..as in, I don't need to do it again. Obviously there are many much worse things to deal with but it's definitely annoying! See below for pics of the damage in our area....
