Hope everyone made it through the storm in good shape and safe.  It has been a   
   very crazy week for me, to say the least.   
      
   Concerning the storm, we did better than I expected.  My neighbor lost two   
   large trees and at least 2 more large trees went down in the woods behind my   
   house.     
      
   I recorded the lowest barometer I have ever seen or recorded.  It was 28.36   
   inches early Tuesday morning.   
      
   Our power went out Monday evening.  I was lucky in that I was able to buy a   
   generator this past Friday.  I walked into the Home Depot just as they were   
   unloading them.  They sold 19 of them in 10 minutes.     
      
   I was able to run the entire house on the generator, just had to keep finding   
   more gas for it which was the difficult part.  Our entire area had no power   
   for miles and all stations were dark.  I finally found one with power about 15   
   miles away.     
      
   I must say, it looked like armageddon when I was driving around in the truck   
   Monday night looking for gas.  Everything was dark - no red lights anywhere,   
   rain going sideways, things flying in the road.   
      
   It was an experience, thats for sure.   
      
   We got power and Internet restored 24 hours later, but there are still many   
   places that are dark.
