I had an odd memory today as I was eating my hot lunch and watching TV:
Friday afternoon, as folks were posting to Facebook about damage and power outages, etc., one lady asked if anyone knew when the power would come back because she had to plan for when to serve her family supper. Her naivete touched me more deeply than I realized.
The most hopeful reply was that it would take a week, maybe two.
Many folks have had power restored, but very rural areas are still dark with another few days to a week or more to wait out.
