It seems like we get some warnings every other day. Then he starts telling me about all the storms he remembers when the power went out and how he wants to move where that never happens. I tell myself that he WILL remember something good. Hopefully. Sigh. Opal, You need to tell him that the only place the electricity never goes out are places with NO electricity. As an added bonus, those places don’t get storm warnings either. The storms just arrive without a tech-based warning. I don’t know of anywhere without storms of some sort.

We had a big storm here last week and the power went out for a few hours. It was great! Everyone in the neighborhood was outside either on their covered porch or with an umbrella. It was too hot to be inside. As it let up kids started playing in all to water, adults started visiting, and the constant drone of air conditioners was missing. I know it would not have been pleasant through the night, but we got power before bedtime.
