major storm + Power outages

Hi there
If you watched the Rose Parade yesterday, it was pretty accurate on the
storm. what they didn't tell you was that several areas had major power
outages--including mine.. and that meant we were without power for just
about 12 hours.. and it was getting pretty freaky about 7 PM last night
when we were told it could be 8:30 AM before we had power.
No tv. no nothing other than books (no problem there) got my office cleaned
up .. dumped paper, organized biz cards.. no cars thanks to elec garage door
opener.
SO is going to do something about getting the electrician to hook up the
generator PRONTO!!
glad that the power came back on last night as I have allergy tests this AM
and didn't want to go in looking like a drudge
