Stormy weather

A ridiculously powerful storm ripped through my town last night, leaving quite a bit of damage and everyone within a 2-3 mile radius without power. Our building was undamaged, though the strength of the wind actually forced water under our front door and through the edges of the windows. Sadly, my Hard Bean Cafe sustained roof and structural damage, as did the Rhoads Opera House next door and quite a few vehicles in the vicinity. My husband and I grabbed as many essentials as we could find in the dark and then evacuated to a friend's house for the night. Now I'm sitting in her kitchen, watching workers clean up the golf course behind the house, and waiting to hear if our power has been restored yet...
