Pumping up air mattresses

While we still have electricity, the kids are pumping up the air mattresses in the basement. We've had coffee, showers, finished the laundry, run the dishwasher, etc.

We still have a steady strong rain. If it was snow, we'd probably call it a blizzard and the snow would probably be getting pretty deep. For now, there is a noticeable increase in wind and rain, but nothing scary yet--except the press conferences. All these governors and mayors are obviously bracing for the worst. Good.
