One of the few times I've ever seen the freeways empty...things blowing everywhere, transformers exploding all over the place...had to cross a downed powerline to get to my place. You might think we were out of our minds for trying it...and yeah, you'd be right. We kinda were.

Alex;
I am beginning to see a pattern! :)
When I was in the Air Force I traveled all over the country and took trips about once a week the last 18 months of my enlistment. Everywhere I went they had record heat, snow, wind and you name it. More than one person told me, “We never had weather like this before you came here”! :)
We have not heard from Katy's sister and family for the last week. They moved from Lima, Peru to Boca Raton, Florida a few months ago. ¡Que pena!
Tom
