Thanks! -- Kinda funny but things worse than I thought in other parts
of the state: didn't find out until recently Cedar Rapids really got
hit hard. Local news did indicate widespread, the entire state had been
affected; power outage report was pretty much the local cities and
counties plus Des Moines. OTOH I also did not watch the entire news as
trying to conserve the battery running the TV; did watch some shows for
pleasant distraction.
