I have lived here all my life and this is my first tornado. I kept telling my husband we should get one of those whole house generators. I now think he agrees with me. We figured we have put $200.00 in gas to keep that generator going for four days now. I think we should get a discount on our electric bill. Troves of electric trucks and electricians have come from all over and are helping to get the power restored. It is heartwarming to see them work so hard and long hours. Many people and businesses , in the community and surrounding communities, have offered help in the way of food, water and charging stations.

You could make it vegan, and give it a lovely Thai twist by... Swap the evaporated milk for a can of coconut milk (or cream), add a little chilli, some coriander and a squeeze of lime. Or... Give it some spice and add ginger and nutmeg (still switch out the evaporated for coconut to keep it vegan)

I know it's still summer, but I was going through my recipes and I absolutely love this one for Fall. It's so delicious and would be perfect for Thanksgiving. Pumpkin Soup Estimated Times: Preparation - 10 min | Cooking - 20 min | Yields - 6 Ingredients 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 cup (1 small) chopped onion 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper 3 cups chicken broth 1 can (15 oz.) 100% Pure Pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling 1 can (12 fl. oz.) Evaporated Milk Directions MELT butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute. ADD broth and pumpkin; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in evaporated milk. Transfer mixture to food processor or blender (in batches, if necessary); cover. Blend until smooth. Serve warm.

Wow @Mee, I can't believe it's taking so long to restore your power! Thank goodness you're all safe! I HATE tornados and don't miss that part of living in the south at all....

Congratulations Doreen. You were a major figure in my quit. So happy and grateful for you!

Yup! These weather "anomalies" are more and more becoming the norm The remnants of The storm that hit Florida last weekend dumped a couple hundred mm's (8") of rain on Montreal yesterday in a few hours. It just missed us to the east by a sliver; thank goodness Parking lot in a Montreal suburb; last night

We actually had an F1 Tornado touch down in our area Tuesday, Aug 5th. Lots of damage and no power. We have been living off a generator that you have to fill with gas every three hours. We are all sleeping downstairs with a little battery operated fan. More and more we are thinking about getting a whole house generator. The weather has been so crazy anymore. It seems impossible to live without our computers and tv.
