Ice Storm


Well, we survived the great (still happening) ice storm of 2013. But barely. 

Saturday night we lost power around 10:30pm and it came on 5:10am Monday morning. 30 hours of no power. No heat. No lights. To the girl who is scared of the dark---it was not fun! 

I feel sick to my stomach for the people who still are without power. It's been too long. Not to mention getting closer to Christmas. We went to the mall this afternoon and saw literally, so many families huddled around outlets, charging phones and laptops. Hearing them call loved ones, letting them know everything is ok. 

Even though this storm came at a horrible time, dead of winter and 2 days before Christmas, it sure teaches us whats important. 

Stay safe, Toronto.
