Whew!  Good for you!  Glad you're back in business and came through the
storms okay!

We got our power back on this morning.  We have a pot belly stove in the 
house kept us warm, also we have gas, so had cooking available, nice to be 
blind sometimes, you don't need light to cook, but Nelson had to light the 
stove for me.  Have separate hot water heater also, so had hot showers, and 
hot waters to do the dishes.
