Who ever thought we’d get hit by a hurricane in Ohio?!!! Not me, that’s for sure. It sure was something, wasn’t it? At my house, we lost quite a few huge tree limbs, and as of Tuesday morning, we still do not have power. At least the library is open.

As always, we have a few books to recommend on the subject of wind storms and hurricanes. Try reading them in bed under the covers with a flashlight if you don’t have any power. You’ll feel like a little kid, and begin to understand even more about what we’ve all just experienced.
