here in Michigan we've been hit with storms in the evening ..

We actually had a storm blow through sunday night with 60 - 70mph winds.. and an uncomfirmed tornado .. people say they saw it .. and it hit about 1/2 mile from my house ...

it uprooted 50 year old trees all over the place,

been without power since sunday evening, setup the generator yesterday morning so at least I got fridge, tv, ac, internet

been through 10 gallons of gas over a 24 hour period though!

Wow that really sucks. Glad you were at least able to get a generator to run the really important stuff. No hot water I guess. When do they expect to have power back on?

hot water is fine as it's run by gas.

expect power back on tomorrow or thursday.

lots of people out here without still.

It is a pain. Hurricane season is here & hoping for no extended outages.

OK, tell us this....how many times did you reach for the light switch in your house, and flick it a couple times before you remembered the power was out. That seems to happen to me quite a bit when our power goes out.

The remains of the storm just went over Quebec. There are fence pieces and tree branches everywhere.

A blast of wind put the bus on two wheels for a few seconds on the ride back home. Scary stuff.
