Thanks to everyone for leaving home to help out others- linemen, rescue workers, animal shelter volunteers, too.

I to am glad that there are those who thank our linemen for their long hard hours. My brother has been in Pa since before the storm hit, and today he moved to NJ. He will probably be there several more weeks. We often forget that all these guys sacrifice, but their families put in just as much sacrifice dealing with all their problems on the home front while the linemen are gone doing what they do best. I saslute you all.

So glad you are safe and have your power back on. I live in central Alabama and was on the interstate going south back toward my house a couple of days after the storms hit up there. It was dark and there wasn't an abundance of traffic but I saw a solid line of something coming toward me heading north so I kept watching until they got closer to see why it appeared they must be traveling together. There were almost 20 power trucks heading north from Alabama Power. It just did my heart good to see them. I've also seen crews from up north coming into Alabama after the bad tornadoes went through here. Those crews do give up a lot to help those in need and we're thankful for them also. Hope this last round of storms doesn't bring any problems your way.

Yes, a million thanks to those guys doing such difficult and dangerous work!
