Storm? What storm?

Well, there was a thunderstorm this morning.  Lots of thunder and it lasted for about two hours--a long time for a thunder storm, but I missed most of it as I was working away in the basement--except when the lights went out and then I was in the dark trying to find my way out of the basement.

It made me think about how lucky we were to live  on Maplewood, so close to the hospitals and all of those iron lungs.  We were always the very first part of the city to get power back.  I also remember one time when it didn't come right on, and all the men were out in the street to head for the hospitals to help work the iron lungs manually.
