We made it through the day okay and went to a Mardi Gras party as planned. Driving away we saw that our house was the last to have power and wondered whether we'd have it when we got back. We did not.
We built a raging fire and I read the old-fashioned way, candlelight and ink. Doug had battery power for his laptop so worked on his dissertation. The crack and crash of limbs continued through the evening. Several made us sit up and take notice including the one that hit our porch and took down our awning. Another took down the power line to the house and another a tree in the neighbor's yard, now leaning over the stretched downed power lines.
I'm in my office now, where it's warm, and Doug's in his with our cold little dogs. Georgia Power was on the scene when we left and said it's possible, not likely but possible, that power will be restored today.
3:55 PM UPDATE: Power's back. Thank you Georgia Power!
