That storm

[Paula.Gillespie@marquette.edu]

Martha, thanks for asking.  We did have a monster storm here, and it
affected a huge area, not just Wisconsin.  It came through Sunday at 3
a.m. and there are still thousands of people without electricity because
the damage was so widespread.  I was lucky.  My home, Marquette, my whole
community was spared.  We were without power overnight, but that was a
minor inconvenience compared to what many experienced.  That storm moved
east, making big trouble wherever it went.. Are the rest of you ok?
