Looks like y'all got hammered.
ReplyDeleteYes we did. Our house is fine. We had a few flickers of the power and I need to reset the time on the microwave. But otherwise, mostly a non-even for us.
ReplyDeleteOthers have not been so lucky. Many, include some in the City of Lansing, are without power until Saturday. No power, no heat. In the country, no power, no heat, no water pressure.
The gym was really hopping yesterday. I think many were in to use the shower facilities.
Mom and Dad lost power and they are spending the duration with one of my sisters.
Thanks for reading and thanks for commenting.
