The grocery store here had batteries, but no flashlights. I know I have flashlights, because I used them a few months ago when there was a power outage, but I can't find them anywhere. I bought a book light, which was the only sort of battery-operated light that the supermarket had left, and I've got a flashlight app on my phone.

The wind has picked up here, but our power was restored a few hours ago so we've been brewing tea and making pumpkin bread and getting ready for it to crap out again.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
OK, everyone is leaving work now, I guess I should go, too.

It's not often my sister (in MI) and I (in NC) share the same weather system at the same time. We're both on the edges, luckily.

Be safe going home, Tom.

Given that satellite image, I can say that the wind and spitting rain we are having in Cincinnati right now is actually part of Sandy. Note that Cincinnati is 500+ miles from the Atlantic Ocean, with a mountain range in the way.
