I'm glad Dana and her family are okay. It's that time of the year, if you live in or near tornado alley, that you have to keep your eye to the sky. We've had more than our share of severe weather over the last few weeks and are expecting more tonight, tomorrow and more days ahead.
After having two major long term power outages due to bad storms, my husband and I decided we'd had enough. So, we purchased an automatic backup generator--no more expensive than some of the sewing machines I've priced recently. It was the best investment, which has already paid for itself in more ways than just comfort and peace of mind.
