Ok so I have done a little CSI on Sissy. Here is what I have been able to exclude. Her power is not out, I show that she lives by the Danville area and the electric company there is showing no power outages as of tonight/, there are some areas north of her that are out but according to her profile she lives in Axton VA. Then if you pull up her profile she was last active on 7/1 two days after the storms hit. Now she could have gone to a library or somewhere else and gotten online but knowing Sissy she would have told us about that. So right now I think she is just taking some much needed R&R.........

Yep, I'm very concerned about Sissy. She NEVER is gone this long, or we know where she has gone to! I just hope nothing has happened to her or her family.
Electricity is out in such a huge area, I think they said thousands of people still out of electricity on the east coast. Glad your house is ok, Addy! I can't imagine not having AC for over a day! I would NOT be staying home. At least in the winter when the power goes out, you can run lanterns and kerosene heaters for heat, but when it's hot, nothing helps!
I got a total of .4" of rain yesterday, and although it was far less that areas close to me, I'm ever so thankful for what I got. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 102, sunny, no rain and day off, so going to be working outside, which will be pretty miserable. I suspect I will be swimming with the fishes before the day is over to cool off. :razz: :LOL: :razz:

Wind warnings all day and this evening very strong wind at the river road, could barely open the truck door. The tall grass by the river was waving in the wind, like a sea of angry green waves. The trees creaked and groaned with the houling wild wind, I swear there was a extra creepy feel by the river.... Another strange thing Poppy did it want to get out of the truck today again, like she's been scared by something lurking in the tall green grass. All week Poppy has been acting scared of something, she even trembled when I tried to coax her out from the back of the Blazer. Bear did not appear to be affected. So Poppy sat up front with me in the truck for a while till she felt OK with going outside. Needless to say the park walk was cut short by horrid winds and Poppy clinging close to me. They hung beware of cougar signs a short way down river at Police Point Park. Maybe thats what is scaring her. Weather feels different, not what a typical Medicine Hat July day should be. Now its back to feeling cool again. Its only 70 degrees now, but with the wind it feels colder. Off tomorrow so I think I will finish the front sidewalk project. Maybe by then Sissy will "call home" or send us a smoke signal!

***For me the perfect climate would be 75* during the day. evening dropping to 68* till morning. a gentle shower every morning from 4am til 5am.
