The Storm

We got an ice storm yesterday that took out power to almost all of Marion and Cedar Rapids. Elizabeth and Isaiah were at the hospital on generators and I had the kids at her parents' house to visit family. We stayed the night at their house, but our house in CR was on one of the only streets in that area with power.

I went out on some generator service calls with Elizabeth's dad Bob, who owns an electrical business. It was fun to go 4WD'ing through the ice and snow and get some people powered up. One of the people was an invalid with in-home care who would've had to have been moved to the already hospitals by ambulance if we didn't get his power on.
