Electric Cooperatives: Going Beyond the Wires One day in July, a girl named Alexis and her dad were reading a story before bedtime as the lights start flickering. “Daddy, why are the lights doing that?” she said terrified holding onto her dad’s arm. “Don’t worry sweetheart, that happens a lot because of the electric company.

at least half up, I told them they needed to come outside- right away. Then, I rushed out of our hut to see if others had noticed. When I stepped outside, all I could hear was the constant pattering of the rain splashing down to the ground, and the wind slashing through the trees. Villagers were shouting and arguing in the streets and begging Chac for forgiveness. Suddenly someone pointed at our once plentiful fields of corn, which, just a day ago,…

Stepping out of my truck, I pound my right foot on the shaking, sandy, dusty, ground. I take a positive look on the main thing that made me drive over here in the first place, the blasting, whistling tornado.

As they turned the corner, little snowflakes began falling from the sky. They felt the temperature drop almost instantly, the wind grew strong and brisk as it whipped around.

With the Stars” on Monday night had me a little nervous. Luckily the splashing was kept to a minimum and none of the audience got sprinkles. Still, it made me wonder. What would the producers think of next? Shaking while dancing (like an earthquake), wind (by bringing in dozens of fans) and the biggest possible element could be snow. As creative as the professional dancers are on the show, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few flakes would be falling before the end of the season. Shaquille O'Neal's…
