July 9 This Day in History

A surprise thunderstorm came our way and knocked power out AGAIN while I was editing the episode for June 9, 2025, so I was unable to complete that; I am posting the video for June 9 from 2024 in its place. We'd had a similar episode two days earlier, on Sunday, due to "vegetation impacting equipment." Hopefully we can carry on uninterrupted from this point! 

Our power went out again 😬 updates as available!

A surprise thunderstorm came our way and knocked power out again. (We'd had a similar episode two days earlier, on Sunday, due to "vegetation impacting equipment.") This is the LIVE I posted to YouTube to inform my. viewers of the incident. 

This occurred while I was editing the episode for June 9, 2025, so I was unable to complete that; I will post the video for June 9 from 2024 in its place.
