Aftermath of Ice Storm 2007

Today was a nice winter day, but it looks like Tulsa has been in a war zone. I've never seen so many trees on the ground. We have an additional 1,500 workers from various states helping people get their power back on. We had over 600,000 without power, but today I heard it was down to 350,000. We have been blessed we have had power both at our house and at my office, although work has been slow due to the weather. We've been so blessed I felt a little "guilty" yesterday as two co-workers were discussing being without power for the third straight day and not looking foward to the freezing weather and possible snow we have forecasted for this coming weekend. And then getting on the elevator to go home and out of seven people going down to the first floor I was the only one going home to "electricity," one lady even had a blow dryer she had brought to work to finish getting ready. On other news...Puddin' is close to walking. Last night she took two small steps.
