Thursday evening, Chicago was rocked by major storms. The power went out around 4 in the little suburb my parents live in; It didn't turn back on until Sunday night. Even then, there were others near by that didn't have power. Then I discovered that the cable was out... So while I had power from Sunday night, I didn't get internet until Wednesday morning.
Naturally, when I did get my internet back, I spent a lot of time on my email.
I have been up and running for 24 hours now; but the city still looks pretty bad. Many blocks still have lots of debris on them. Also, there was a lot of flooding. Every so often you catch a whiff of something sewer-like.
I would like to write a lot more about this, but I'm going away again this weekend. My grandparents are throwing us a bridal shower! Grandma wanted it to be more of a get-to-gether, since the parents haven't met yet; so there will be guys there as well. I plan to make one posting while I'm down there. Till then!
