Love the ElectronsOn Thursday, Aug. 23, humongo storms passed (well, hung out for a while, then moved on) through the Chicago area.
The northern suburb in which I live - Mount Prospect - was particularly hard hit. One report put the downed trees (big-ass trees) in the hundreds, perhaps over 1,000.
Trees hit power lines. Power goes out. Storms flood streets.
Good times.
We lost power about 3pm Thursday; it came back on Sunday AM, over 60 hours later.
On Saturday, we held a "let's BBQ all we can eat!" fest, cleaning out the freezer as much as we could. Ate well, as did the raccoons and/or possums that got our leftovers.
And threw away all else.
Good times.
The internet (Comcast) didn't come back on until very late Sunday evening, so it was a weird weekend for me.
But love the electrons. Without power, what do you do?
Ah, but the tubes are back. Weird few days...
