Just a quick update note: last night a storm system of dust storm, 74mph winds, flying debris, and .01 rain hit our area a little after 7pm. We lost power -- including AC at 104F -- for over 12 hours. The entire area -- 25 miles -- lost power. There was no place to go because all businesses closed. We lost all our food in the refrigerator and freezer but the worst part was the hot & humid house. Once the rain stopped there was not even a breeze to cool us down. The power was restored a little after 7am since then we've been cleaning up after it all. We are all nauseated, weak, and dehydrated despite drinking warm water bottles last night and need a cooling rest. Praying no more storms come tonight as the next 15 days we are predicted to be in same conditions. Sorry to miss you all today.
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year! Charles Dickens
