Sitting in the Dark

Well we just had a storm roll through and our power is out.  I had seen on the news and in online alerts that there were all sorts of power outages to the west of us and I said to Kris and the girls to be prepared.  No sooner had the red band on the radar hit than we lost power.  So now we sit in the dark waiting.  It took forever to get through on the automated hotline for reporting power outages, and then the recording told me "we do not have an estimate for when your power will be back on".  One of these days I really need to see about getting a generator.
