The day after the Derecho, a smaller storm came through Christiansburg. I happened to be there at the time and I got to experience one of the best sunsets I've seen in years.

The Derecho Storm is not news to those of us on the east coast. Power outages are still everywhere, including my family's house. The rumble of generators is echoing through the valley. Last night, I had the pleasure of driving a mile down the road with friends in an ATV to fill up buckets of water at a neighbor's well (powered by a generator of course), and haul it back up to the house to help water my family's horses. As we were filling up the buckets, we realized how valuable water really is, and how often we take it for granted when we don't have it.
