In case anyone heard or was worried about the fact that Eli and I haven't been on for quite awhile, I just want to let you all know what happened. On Thursday October 12, our area was hit with a surprise snow storm, 22 inches of snow! The combination of the wet slushy snow and most of the leaves still on the trees was too much and tons of branches (literally) came down. They knocked out power lines to about 300,000 houses, business, and schools. We lost our power at 3am Friday morning. Since then we have been living off generators and candle light. We got our power back today (Tuesday) at around 5:20pm. As far as I know more then 100,000 homes and businesses are still without power right now (11:05 Tuesday night) But as of right now, we are back (unless more trees come down) and the power should stay on.
