1) Assuming you survived last night, things are looking up today.

2) We've said it before during storms, but we'd like to salute the crews of Marietta Power and Water for the work they do during severe weather. We didn't see any notices of Northeast Cobb power outages, but if there were any under Marietta Power's watch, they were resolved. More than 2,100 customers were out at one point in west Marietta, but the crews quickly made the repairs and got those homes power again.

3) If you do have storm damage from the severe thunderstorms that swept through East Cobb, or if you have stories to tell about a night of hunkering down, let us know in the comment box below orΒ  email to guest editor Holly Roberson at holly.roberson@patch.com.

4) The Cobb County Board of Education will meet in executive session at 5 p.m., then hold its regular monthly meeting at 7 at the Central Office on Glover Street in Marietta. We'll have a preview on the website this morning, then will attempt live coverage of the meeting tonight. Will this be the night we learn the finalists (or finalist) for the superintendent's job?

5) The cheapest gas in town today is $3.68 at the Chevron at 1023 Sandy Plains Rd and Walter Road.
