Lighted the Turkish lamp at my bedroom window, a candle on our writing desk, and three bottled candles on our side porch.

I must confess that I love storms, but I hate it when the power goes off and when water seeps into the house. 

And, of course, I especially hate it when the streets and people's houses get flooded and when people get hurt or die just because we've had no modern and efficient drainage systems since WWII.
