We always lose power when these kind of storms occur. Maximum days without power was 10, when we had toddlers.

Good soaker here, some thunder and lightning, not much in the way of wind so far.

Don't have my rain gauge out yet but man we must have gotten about 2 inches.  Got the daughter and one other kid at the bus stop because it was hitting hard right then and there was some lightning.  I was surprised to see how many kids had no umbrellas.
