Ice Storm
Hello to all!!! If any of you have watched/heard the national weather.....Oklahoma got hit hard with a severe ice storm and we have 500,000 people without power....the wilson family being one of those 500,000. We haven't had power since late Sunday night. The candles came out, I fired up the BBQ (ice and all) so we could eat. We braved the nights---thankfully it was only 30-35 degrees outside and not colder. Tonight, I think we may bunk at the Foote's house because they have power. We finally had power at my job, so I came in today and took a shower. Our parking lot and much of the city of Norman looks like a war zone. Trees are down everywhere----on top of houses, cars, in the middle of the road and parking lots. We drove through campus yesterday and the big beautiful oak trees are all broken in pieces....very sad. So, if any of you need to get a hold of us....Call me at work...we are hoping to have power by the time we get home tonight. We haven't heard from Ruben & Manthy, I hope they are doing alright....I know OKC got hit worse than we did. Hope all is good with you all....Talk with you soon.

Have you tried the breaker panel yet I heard if you burn those they put off enough heat for the whole house.

Very funny lazybones! We are back in business. Our power came back on late yesterday afternoon, just in time to get Kat ready for her Christmas musical. We learned that our family doesn't do very well without power....all of us grumpy and stinky. You all forget that we are on a well system that can't operate without power so....toilets don't flush or anything. Let's just leave it at that!
Wow where talking serious camping. Fun, Just think how much money you were saving on toilet paper. Great Great.
