Naomi Doebel notes impromptu gatherings in New York, while stores stock up on candles and batteries. A Rotary Club moment salutes Jefferson High School’s football team and its coach Torrence Carlson. Armistice Day 1940 storm remains a Midwest tragedy memory. Cedar Rapids Airport reports emergency generators enabling landings during blackouts, with broader Civil Defense readiness noted.
