The house is just starting to cool off. Electrical cords from the generator are being rolled up.
Thank goodness, as I have a 7:10 am radio interview (New York City on some FM station for all you early-risers), and I forgot that I have neither a land line nor a cell phone without electricity. Yes, even the cell phones have not been working, as the cell towers around here lost all power since so many lines came down in the wind, and so many electrical transformers exploded with the lightning strikes. Most people are still without electricity, but we are back on the grid!
The video, at top, is of the storm that did us in starting up in Iowa, and sweeping west. It was short and fast and furious with 80-mph winds and enough lighting to power the nation for 100 years. About 15 people died, but not us. Not this time.
A reminder, however, that Mother Nature and Father Time are both serial killers, and we are all their children. I think that explains a lot.
