Just a brief power outage. Still, it must have been scary. I hope those of you without power get it back ASAP and my thoughts are with all the people who were hit by it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everyone-okay-in-the-midwest#post-1090213 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 15:01:39 +0000 ManidipaM 1090213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh goodness, that sounds like a close call, Marcy! Thank goodness you and yours are alright! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everyone-okay-in-the-midwest#post-1090128 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:14:25 +0000 Parsley 1090128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sweet of you to ask, Manidipa!<br /> There was some serious damage very near where I live: trucks tipped over, a car picked up and thrown into a building by the wind. The high winds at our house were scary, but we didn't have any damage besides some tree branches down.</p> <p>I hope you get your power back soon, Julie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everyone-okay-in-the-midwest#post-1090080 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:55:15 +0000 JulieinMI 1090080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!&nbsp; There is a pool and a good breakfast Beth Ann!&nbsp; I can stand to be home for part of the day, but not at night.&nbsp; We have to leave the lovely Baymont and find another place if it is not back on tonight.&nbsp; Fortunately it is only my husband and myself and we can move around fairly easily.&nbsp; Our son went to his brother's apartment but staying at a place with a group of 20 year old guys doesn't really appeal to me:)&nbsp; Today I guess I will decide what to do with my refrigerated/frozen food.&nbsp; I know a small problem in the whole scheme of things, but so annoying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everyone-okay-in-the-midwest#post-1089991 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 05:22:35 +0000 Beth Ann 1089991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry to hear it, Julie!&nbsp; Hope there's a pool and a good free breakfast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everyone-okay-in-the-midwest#post-1089887 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 03:04:53 +0000 ManidipaM 1089887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, Julie!

It's just too cold and it's dark 13 hours/day. They say we may not have power until Friday:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everyone-okay-in-the-midwest#post-1089594 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 23:43:35 +0000 marianna 1089594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All is okay here too, besides a couple traffic lights down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everyone-okay-in-the-midwest#post-1089122 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:48:21 +0000 ManidipaM 1089122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you have electricity soon, Julie. And Beth Ann, whew! Yes, upsetting especially at this time of year. Hope your friends have friends to pitch in and help them out too. Though such a relief for all individuals to be physically okay. After the Philippines, it's really 'there, but for the grace...' So glad you and yours are in no danger and have a contingency plan to boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everyone-okay-in-the-midwest#post-1089067 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:03:51 +0000 JulieinMI 1089067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No power, but other than that OK in West Michigan.&nbsp; Hopefully it will be on soon because it is getting cold in our house! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everyone-okay-in-the-midwest#post-1089063 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:01:25 +0000 Inge 1089063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear about your friends, Beth Ann, but am relieved to hear that nobody got hurt!
