The Storm in Mt Prospect

Here are our neighbors having pizza by us, 2 days after the storm. They still are without power in their homes. We have extension cords from our house running to all their homes. Starting with Timmy, there is Lisa (of Peter & Lisa), Robert (of Susan & Robert), Julie (of Joe & Julie)...
Then Peter and Susan on the other side with me. It was a nice night out and the weather was beautiful. You wouldn't know anything was wrong.
Then Todd came home just as channel 2 news was driving in our neighborhood to see this "extension cord neighborhood" the mayor was talking about. And asked Todd to interview about the situation. He happen to be in his uniform for POC, but that was not the interview topic. Here, Todd is introducing Megan.
"If you're a celebrity, adios reality"
Brave Susan agreed to be a neighbor receiving the

good Samaritan’s power representing the others.
