Tornado Or Fridge Problem ... Which Is Worse?

Wednesday, 10/27

Interested in what did happen during the night?  We thought so, because we sure were! 

Essentially, the weather produced nothing of concern.  Some heavy rain about 5 a.m. that ceased within the hour, never to return.  However, to the southwest is Chattanooga, Tennessee which took a major hit, as well as other locations on a line to the west of us.  Our friends, still in DC reported that they had more rain than we, but nothing more.  We're lucky.  Tornado warnings are given when the wind and storms are ripe for producing tornadoes, and did, but not for us.

Unfortunately for us, our refrigerator began failing at 5 a.m.  That meant we had to find a repair service qualified to work on it.  Not an easy task, but we succeeded and headed for a small outfit further toward our destination.  Weather cooperated and abundant sunshine made for more spectacular foliage sightings in the mountains of southwestern Virginia.  This was to become the best part of the day, as the fridge problem cannot be fixed until a part arrives tomorrow morning, and then we're not totally sure if the issue will be resolved.  Grrrr!!

Now, it's another overnight in another Walmart parking lot.  As you know by now, we find these locations to be safe, quiet and convenient for shopping.  This time, there's an "Outback" steakhouse across the street that will satisfy our need for a good time on this day.
