Hi EV1.
 Pretty scary last evening.  The warnings were blasting.  I am only about 5 miles from the lake and 20 miles west of Cleveland.  So not really close to Erie.  Closer to Pittsburg I think.
 We had a few gusts of about 20  or so.  No damage.  Bad stuff went south of us again.  I was concerned for Karen and Debbie.  Especially Karen.  She is terrified of storms.  She had surgery to relieve pressure in one eye, and has lost a lot of vision in her right eye.  So she cannot drive.
 I called her to keep her company.  She has been trying to get the winter stuff off for quite a while, but cannot turn on the water to her hose. We soaked the faucet with WD40, and I drove her to a car wash.  Then spent the evening playing rummy at her house. 
Lots of bear activity at Snow last evening.  It is kind of hard to find by scrolling back wards.  I saw a great sunrise at GSB. I shared the view with my nieces and Debbie.  The CA niece, Kelly, shared some nice photos of her and a friend on horseback trying to round up a run away horse.  Kelly does a lot with horses near her.  Not sure just what her arrangement is with the owners.  I don't think she owns any.  She just care for them.  Today she said she is trailering one to the trainer.  Whatever that means.
Nest cams look normal.  TV are getting some rain from the sound, but mom is very cozy on her eggs.  Did not see Ely bears.  The snow is gone today around there.
 It has been very nice here.  No dirt ever showed up.  I've been trying for 6 months to do this.  Now I wasted three nice days in a row waiting for a call to go and show where to dump.
Now I will say CULEV1 GBU.  Especially our fearless leader Cal, and Bren.

Cal, it's upsetting to hear that you're not feeling any improvement, and I can understand your frustration. I was impressed, though, that you could get in the car and drive! I just hope that at some point, you will feel better than before the surgery.
Jo, I'm happy to hear that the worst weather stayed away from you and your loved ones. It was very kind of you to stay with Karen and help her pass the time away without extreme fear.
Hi Paulie, it is hard to catch up when you miss a couple of days. I don't usually do a good job of that. Has there been a resolution to the electric problem at your cabin?
Bren is home now. She really missed her little apartment, but the staff at the hospital said they were going to miss HER! One of the nurses cried. We're hoping she doesn't have too much sickness after the three chemo treatments. Thanks to all of you for the continued thoughts and prayers for my wonderful sister!

Hi cal, jo and nan.

Hi cal. I think you're reading this. We care and want the best for you.   :-*

nan, Good news Bren is home. Prayers definitely continue for her.

Jo, Good to no damage last night.

Letting you each know we're heading to cabin tomorrow morning. Bad storms hit. 70 to 80 mph winds reported. Contractor texted me he checked out cabin and nothing has fallen on it. I was worried about a very close tall tree that's on one side of cabin. It survived the 70 to 80 mph winds. Yay. He said it's a mess with trees, power lines and misc strewn everywhere.

I got notified cabin restored at cabin then got notified maybe not but I think all's good and we'll have power and make pot of coffee in morning. Hope so! We might spend the night till Friday if we've got power and all's good. Side of mountain can be wonky so will text tomorrow if I can.

Sleep well. Take care. SED
