100 MPH winds and soooo much rain. Once in a generation derecho, hundreds of miles long and wide, extending over multiple states. Damage and flooding everywhere. Hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of trees down blocking roads, bringing down power lines. 289,000 residents without power for days. Kim and I had no power for three days. Lots of electric candles, but boy do you ever miss the things you had once you no longer have them.
Thankfully, power has been restored and we're re-provisioning our home. The lesson here is that Mother Nature is the landlord and we're all just tenants.
Interesting - no sign of such weather here in Ontario.

Count yourself fortunate, my friend. We're all in the clean-up stage now. Lots of chain saws buzzing. The our state's credit, the state will be picking up all down trees and branches moved to the side of the road way.
It's sure good to have things getting back to normal.
@theman, hoping you guys have power back. I know there are some places still without. Some semblance of normalcy would sure help as you all recover from those storms.
Thank you, LaRock. We went four days -- and nights -- without power. Fortunately, we have a ton of electric candles and Kim was able to get some shows on her computer. We lost about $300 in food from our freezers and fridge. Lesson learned. We're getting a generator. Not going to go through that again.
