Oh NO!!! Not Again!

We're all a bit on edge this afternoon.  We keep getting notices that severe thunderstorms are heading our way.  We don't know if that really means "Microburst" or "Derecho" or "Gustanado" or "Rainsplosion."  But given that we have had two of the aforementioned this year, we are all in great anticipation of what will happen and if we will be without power for another week or longer.

Let's hope we do not see the devastation again this afternoon and evening that we have already seen this year.
