The day started with weather warnings of high winds and driving rain. When I drove into town, it really didn’t appear to be that bad. Perhaps it was the lull before the store. I decided to stock up on a few groceries. A big pot of chili sounded good for supper. Boy, was I right! The storm hit hard about an hour after I got home from the store. Electricity went out in town, and our lights were flickering. Were we going to lose all power in a sort while? I decided the best thing to do was to get the pot of chili made as quickly as I could.
