East Coast Storm
#21
We are fine here. We didn't lose power although the lights blinked alot. There were trees down and power out in other areas of my city and in the state in general. No as bad as NY or NJ. They really got blasted and my heard goes out to all of them.

Central NJ - power spotty; lots of downed trees/wires. Personally we had very little damage. No power since Mon. evening. Estimate for restoration is Mon. 11/5. We have wire damage in front of our house so I suspect we'll be one of the last on that very long list as we are just a small service area from that wire. Generator is doing it's job. Just making things a bit challenging for the time being. Other areas in the state/region in far, far worse shape. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Whoopee! Our power came on at 5am. First thing for me was a long, hot shower. Next, I'll finish sewing the pieced back of my current quilt. The power went out while I was sewing on Monday afternoon.
We lost the roof on one of our outbuildings, and the roof on DH's workshop started to peel off. For some magical reason it didn't blow completely off.
We didn't lose any trees this time - lost 2 last year in that Oct storm. We did lose a few smallish branches, and there are lots of small branches lying around. On a bright note, almost all the leaves blew away! DH is VERY happy about that!

Thank God for little and big favors. We came out unscathed this time in central VT, unlike Irene. Because of all the help from volunteers we received, we plan to lend a hand to others who weren't so fortunate, as soon as we know where, when and how we can return the favor!

We have been without Electric now since Monday around midnight. We also go over a foot and half of snow on the ground. We are warm because we have a wood stove but being without lights when I get home from work each night. We also have my daughter and granddaughter there with us (they live in the apartment above our garage which is all electric) so trying to entertain a 6 year old each evening is getting hard. They are saying we won't have electric until maybe next week.
