Ice storm

We still don't have cable or internet. It has been a long 2 weeks since the ice storm. At least we have our power back though. 5 days is enough. We did get to go home after 3 nights at a friend's house. We ran a generator. It worked pretty well. The night we lost power I was home alone with the girls. I hate being home alone at night but more then anything I hate not having power. I knew there was a good chance we were going to lose our power from the storm so before we went to bed I packed our bags. I knew I would not be able to stay there without the power. So sure enough at 3am we lost our power. I got the girls up and took them to a friends house 2 streets back from us. Thank goodness for good friends! It was a scary night, you could see the sky lighting up from the transformers shorting out, you could smell electricity in the air, and hear the tree limbs cracking. Just waiting and wondering where they would fall. Glad we didn't have more damage then we did. A big tree limb from our neighbor's tree did fall on our power line which ripped it and the power meter from our house.
