Rick, Thanks for the report. The felled trees are a source of amazement. You missed the link to Dickens, but I found it by scrounging around. Is that a street performer standing at his statue?
We had big storms here Wens. afternoon. We were fine, but suburbs west and east of us suffered damage. #1 son Bill was without electricity for 27 hours because of downed trees. And Oak Brook lost many trees and some office roofs. I found the Dr's office closed Thursday without power. It was a big blow like yours. Regards, Bob S.
