Excitement in Morris—big thunderstorm just blew through, taking out trees up & down the street, including one that came within inches of annihilating my car. The power is out, & it may be a while before it comes back.

She's made it home! And the power just came back, 20 minutes before Futurama! See, Jesus really does love me.
