By the time we got home from McDonald's, the power was back on...a big relief because we were starting to worry about food spoiling, etc.

Powerful winds from a thunderstorm Monday night left a bunch of folks in mid-Michigan without power. We were fine until Tuesday night when our street mysteriously lost power. Now it's Wednesday night and we're at McDonald's for our internet fix while the boys play on the indoor play equipment.
