Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

My Experience With the "Derecho"-- Part 3

Next, we drove to Fox Lake to check our boat.

All the stoplights into Fox Lake were not working so lines forming at the stop signs. All businesses dark in town. Rick and Chris were sitting outside in the yard and said their power was still off. He had just finished picking up limbs and branches that had fallen, but there were still lots of smallwe twigs all over the place and part of his graden was wrecked.

Liz had read on the Fun on the Fox website that someone had reported a tree down and across the channel where we dock our boat by Rick's place, but we didn't see it when we walked out. The boat was fine.

Wwe had been thinking of going to Hello Folks down the street from Rick's. It was open, but only bottles being served and, of course, NTN was out.

Decided to drive over to McHenry which wasn't hit as badly. Trees and limbs down all the way along US-12. Strangely, it was hit and miss all over. There would be spots with major damage and spots with no damage at all.

All McHenry had power. We ate at the Gambler then I walked over to the weekly car show and listened to one of my favorite 50s-60s bands, The Rockin' Fenderskirts for a set. they even have an upright bass.
