This was a storm, that for me, didn't appear to be too bad of a one. After two hours, our electricity was back on. I just caught up with my sleep by taking a nap during it. I didn't get enough sleep last night.
Once up, Liz said she was hearing that almost a million people had lost power and most still didn't have it. Later, we hear that it was expected that a lot of the people weren't going to have electricity for a day or so and then, that was extended until later in the week.
Much worse of a storm than I thought.
We then heard that the Fox Lake area was particularly hard hit, so decided to drive over and take a look and see how the boat fared, since we dock it in that village.
While waiting for Liz to get ready, I took a walk out to the arboretum tp pick up branches that always come down in a wind storm. Entered it at the east end and started picking up the branches. When I got over to the west end, I saw that the sumac tree was broken off at its base.
That is too bad because it always reminded me so much of a tropical plant and was about 15 feet tall. Unfortunately, my electric chain saw is broken (well, the chain is hanging down). I'll have to see if I can figure out how to fix it. Probably not. One thing I'm not good at is fixing broken machines.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
