I've rejoined the 21st Century Woo hoo!

Lansing, MI got creamed last night. Power lines down, traffic lights out, streets closed. I met my friend for lunch today and what is usually a 5-minute drive took almost 40. It's gonna take a few days to get back to normal, but at least they got my power on by 7:00 p.m. Thank you, Lansing Board of Water and Light!

My mom is in Haslett, assume everything is okay since I haven't heard from her. Most of my friends in the area have their power back.
