We had a major fierce wind storm Wednesday night, after heavy winds Wednesday during the day, and more wind to follow Thursday. Many downed trees and power lines, and we were without power for 72 hours. We often take things for granted until it's gone for a few days!
We're very thankful there was not rain to go along with the winds!
We are very fortunate to have a wood-burning stove (heat), a gas stove in the kitchen (can still cook with a flame that can be controlled), and a gas water heater (we can shower and wash dishes by candlelight!).
Happy for a calm evening in a warm house with lights and electricity again,
Chester 
and the Mrs.
