We have power to our house!
At 7:15 p.m., several of the lights in our house switched on, and the various electric clocks began blinking. FUN!
... it's kind of bittersweet, though. With the power off, it kind of felt like camping. I suppose I could try to convince my wife to let us keep the lights off, and to turn off all the appliances, but I don't think she'll go along with that plan.
Update: It looks like the winds knocked a few shingles off the roof, so I had to replace a few of them, as well as roof-tar some loose shingles down. Also, the motorhome sprung a leak... yuck. I hate leaks.
