First World Problem

North East Wisconsin was clobbered by a Nor'easter overnight Tuesday and Wednesday.  After intermittent flickering of lights we finally lost power Wednesday morning.


Power restored for us last evening. First time we’ve had to rely on the standby generator to keep the house on life support. 


We hosted neighbors overnight who at the time of this post still have no power.  Hundreds of households in the Brussels, Union, Gardner townships still without service.  At one point last evening it was reported that 14,800 households were without power in Door County.

That is one-half of the permanent year-round population.  Emergency warming centers have been opened and the Lodge at Leathem Smith has opened up their entire resort FOR FREE to those without power.

Internet restored this morning.

Terrific to see the community come together for the duration of the emergency....
