Am I the only RFFer affected by Friday's derecho? Day six without power here. To quote Neil Simon, "This is Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't stand this heat."
Hope are are well. I'm enjoying Internet through my cellphone while it lasts.

What's a derecho? Some new word or have I just been missing it all these years?
If you are referring to the terrible destruction from last week, our hearts go out to you! No power. Unbelievably hot.
Here's some good vibes being sent your way...hope it won't take long to get back on the grid.:angel:

I had to look it up, as I've never heard of "derecho" either, except as the Spanish word that means "straight". This explains: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derecho

I'd never heard of one either until I got to experience one. I do not recommend.
