Well, we just got power back at our house. The remains of Ike blew through here at 75 miles per hour plus Sunday night, and knocked out power to all of central Ohio. Even I was surprised. Our power just came on this morning.
I'm upset because I had just stocked the freezer with homemade pasta sauce from my garden, shredded fresh garden veggies, a whole lasagna I was planning to make later. Basically, my grocery budget and grocery challenge are blown this month because of this storm.
We had to drive 40 miles south to find an open restaurant yesterday, then we camped out at our sister's, who has power, for dinner. I have been living on bananas and peanut butter with crackers and water since Sunday. I'm over it.
It reminds me that I either need to get a generator OR I need to get a gas stove so I can still cook when the power is out.

WOW! Poor you. Welcome back to power. Ike was a real little jerk that's for sure.
We had winds up to 60 mph and flooding, but we didn't lose power or get water in the house. I'm very grateful.
Feel your pain. We lost power for a week during that freak storm in July 2006. And I had just stocked our freezer then. What is it about the timing?!
