Though lightening was rare, the winds generated by the storms often took out power, sometimes for days at a time. Living out in the 'country' also meant that our power never came back on as quickly as those in 'town' so we really learned to muddle through. Candles, hibachis and ice chests saw us through!

'Twas very creepy, and for most of us it was almost 2 whole days w/no power. I know the feeling.
