What a bad weekend!

Well, at 6:19 a.m. Tom and Lois lost power and therefore heat. Since there was no power, getting news on when it would return was non-existent. At around 10 something, the LAN phone line went out. Therefore there were only cellphones that worked. Not only at night were we in the dark, but for information too.

While it appears lovely, it is a thick layer of ice that is dangerous on which to walk and drive. So too is it that made the limbs too heavy, which fell off trees and snapped phone and power lines.
Our poor neighbor got a pounding, obviously. I was going to walk over and help, but during the time that I could have, three limbs fell. I might have been hurt or killed. I changed my mind about pulling limbs while they were still falling.
This other neighbor lost the top half of the tree here. Oh, man!
Diane was nice enough to put us up for the night, which went to two, perhaps three. Joe was with us and so the many of us stayed with Diane and Jim. While there Diane found Lilly chasing something. This opossum crawled up on the grill for safety. It later crawled away.

Jeff sent this photo of a Glenbrook flag, destroyed by the weather.
In all over 100,000 people lost power in Allen County alone.
