Yesterday evening a storm came through the little town of Newton, didn't seem too severe, just lightning, heavy rain and a little wind....but boy did it reek havok.  We have been out of power since 5:00 pm yesterday (its now 1:00 pm), and part of the problem you can see in this pic.  This used to be big pine tree fell acrossed our driveway and the main road, right onto the electric line.  My dh hooked up the generator to keep the freezers running, and Yes, the computer in one room works.

I guess my money saving tip of the day is...no electricity means a smaller bill.,(LOL)

Hi Barb,

First off I want to thank you for your comment on my blog a couple of weeks ago, it is always nice to hear from other "Mountaineers".
That was an awful storm that we had last week, hope that you have the debris all cleaned up and that power has been restored. We had some nasty lightning and thunder around our little home near Charleston last night, but no damage, Praise God.
Hope you are having a good day today.
Hugs,
Char5

We were out of power Friday from about 5pm until Saturday 4am. Of course anytime it is windy and rainy we lose our phone service (thank goodness for cell phones!).

I guess these storms have caused some major power outages all over. Makes one think of alternative sources to keep on hand!

Blessings, Kelly
