Most of you who subscribe to our newsletters know that Cloudeight is located in Michigan…and unfortunately, we’re not immune to the terrible ice and snow storm which rumbled through Michigan last weekend.
Yep, we’re still without power — three days after the storm. Our Christmas will be a unique one for sure.
We have taken care of all of you (we hope) who have ordered products or services from us. Those of you waiting for an answer to your questions about our products or services — well, we have to ask your patience and understanding. Hopefully the electricity will be back on tomorrow – Christmas Day — and we’ll start catching up with the mail.

“It’s a big deal,” Hoving said. “It’s Christmas and we’ve just had a major ice storm,” with trees toppling over and ice-covered power lines.
In Michigan, more than 230,000 electric customers – including 58,000 in metro Detroit – were still blacked out in the state’s lower peninsula, the Detroit Free Press reports, quoting local energy providers…
