Back from 56 hours of no internet, no tv, no heat or lights, and extremely sketchy phone service. I didn't know how quickly I would crumble with only books and dining out or eating non-cooked foods to entertain me. I was close to babbling. I finished one book yesterday and started another and am checking in here to get today's downloads. It got to 34 degrees last night. Only damage at my house - I lost 4 small trees. Two blocks away, several power poles snapped and lines on the ground and two houses with trees on them. Not declared a tornado yet, but probably will be. I think there were something like 34 in Alabama and into Georgia on Wednesday, but I'm sketchy on news and weather reports, too. So grateful no ambulances or fires during all the power outage in our big area. Had an ambulance go by as soon as power was restored and hope it wasn't one of our hero linemen. They worked around the clock.
