I just pray my mom and dad get their power on today. They are what is considered the "elderly class" although they don't like to admit it, and won't come to my house or my brother's house to stay for fear of leaving their home unguarded during this mess. I've been helping them all I can, because for days it was dangerous even to drive around in town... trees on the road, live wires down, etc. I'm still amazed at myself that I did drive, EVERY DAY, during this crisis. I rode with John to work and kept his car which had A/C and picked him up every evening. It's amazing what you can do when you have to.
