This past Tuesday morning, after an unseasonable heat-wave, temperatures suddenly dropped over northern Utah and 100 mph hurricane-force winds began to hit the Salt Lake Valley, killing one resident, toppling hundreds of huge trees, closing schools and knocking out power for more than 170,000 homes and businesses.
Our son and his family weren’t spared when two huge trees fell on their property and shut down their electrical service as well. Luckily, no one was hurt and a friend lend him a generator to get some power where needed most in the house.
The storm created a mess that will take many days to sort out and bring back some normalcy to the region. Since Park City was totally spared by the mayhem, Finn’s parent organized remote school learning for him and dropped him at our house that same night, so he didn’t have to endure the momentary discomfort and disruption at his home.
We’re delighted to have him with us for a few days, as he bring us a youthful presence that enjoyably disrupt our daily routine.
Bad things always have their silver lining!
