Well, we made it through round two! We were all ready for a power outage—including a percolator (remember those?) for coffee. We had a few blinks and flickers, but we never shut down! I'm pretty sure that without the preparation we'd have been sunk—Murphy's law. I carried a small flashlight in my pocket—when the power goes it gets darker than the inside of a witch's hat in the house.
I had another very sleepless night, and listened to the crack, (branch breaking) hissssss (ice falling) thud (branch hitting ground or whatever) and not knowing what was happening or when something would come through the roof.
School was called off, again, and I'm sure Mel won't be driving the bus tomorrow, either. He will be able to get the Jeep out, however, (the only vehicle which can get us out of our driveway) and will take me to the endocrinologist early in the morning. We will take a test drive in the Jeep later today to see that we can get to a main road.
I scattered several pounds of bird seed for my poor hungry "friends", and got some pretty good pictures when I put my winter suit on, and went out. The picture above I took from our front porch. It shows several of the crack, hissssss, thuds I was listening to—came pretty close to the propane tank. A branch is also lodged right in front of the bus (touching tires) too, don't know how it got there! Hmmmmm.
Prayers going out to you guys that you fare as well as we did! Huge hugs!

(((Katy))) Glad you all faired out ok and no power outages. We heard all those same creepy sounds and found a big mess in our yard. Luckily our power did not go out and we were getting prepared too just in case. We must have lil storm angels watching over us all, ha! Hugs, Di
So glad you didn't completely lose your electric. We've had a lot of flickering here. I was glad when it settled down.
So glad you faired so well. We did too because we have no large trees in the neighborhood yet. But other places weren't so lucky. I hope you can get to your doctor appointment tomorrow. Hugs.
