My power was out from Wed afternoon til last night, so i was literally in the dark the whole storm(s). No phone, no internet, I watched all my downloaded Netflix content by Thursday, my stove was broken so I couldn't even cook all the thawing food in my fridge/freezer; the constant banging on my roof from falling branches kept me indoors except for the few moments I'd risk taking my dog out to pee (and a falling branch missed him by 18 inches!). I didn't want to risk driving anywhere either due to falling trees. It was miserable! We have a few hours today before it all begins again tonight.

First thing I did when power resumed was download as much Netflix content as I had space for, and I bet it won't be enough.

How'd your roof hold up?

I wonder how our reservoirs are doing? I will go check out the river later to see how it looks.
