I'm happy to report that my family and I are all fine, and we had no property damage aside from the contents of our fridge. The power was out in the entire area for four or five days. I've only managed to see some of the damage to the rest of the state since last night, but it looks horrifying. We were extremely blessed to have made it through unscathed.
The power was out, but we ate really well thanks to the contents of our and Amy's freezers, Amy's cooking, and Brent's near-constant grilling. My parents' power came on last night, so we spent the night over there, and got in some good hang-out time.
I was glad to get some good news after that long wait for electricity. Osama bin Laden is finally dead, taken out by our own Navy Seals. I'm not surprised the coward used a woman as a human shield.
On the way back from my parents' house, we passed a large convoy of military vehicles headed south, presumably to help with tornado damage. That was good to see as well. It's a good day to be an American.
