An hour after my post, my wifi/cable came back on. I was so shocked. You wouldn't believe the damage in my little town. There are still at least 30 power outages in town or near the town borders. There was a giant tree on my street which came down and knocked out our power. It was so big that the workers looked like toys. The wires were five feet above the ground. I was surprised they weren't crushed to the ground. When the tree removal workers left, a power company spent three hours fixing things up and our power came back on. I was very grateful as it was going to hit 24 degrees F during the wee hours of the morning. That is minus 5 Celsius. Is the U.S. the only places that still uses Fahrenheit? I thanked the energy company workers. They came from Nova Scotia and must have traveled about 700 miles to come help us out. Anyway, I am safe and warm and am grateful. Opal
