Hope everyone's ok- we've been without power since Friday night

lots of tree damage in Grayslake and lots of outage- ComEd site was not even close to the numbers without power. We finally had power restored about 6pm. Yay!!

Micro-bursts/lightning and big wind now!... I hope we get through tonight with our recently restored power! I have one kitty here under my feet and one down hiding in the basement.
