Hows the folks in N.E. doin (storm) ?

Just wonderin how everybody thats dealin with the (bomb) is doin.....

 

We made it through, ok. The region has a few power outages. The closer to the coast you get, is where more trees down. We're about 30 miles west of the coast.

Still gusty winds.

I had to visit my stacks with a flashlight. None blown over. I noticed a few small dead branches, are now candidates for my kindling bucket. No major limbs or trees.

Millions of leaves now blanket the yard. I'm glad I mowed the lawn Tuesday, because I see using my leaf blower is in my near future.

All in all, a non-event right here.

 

Lots of rain here but very little wind. Our milk, bread, toilet paper and battery supply is still safe.

 

BUUTTTT...hows the supply in the magazine rack next to the throne????

 

Naw...............................library has moved up to the electronic age, no more Sear's catalog.......................

 

Bomb cyclone!!!! damm media hype to make people like my wife nervous.

Lots of leaves on the ground.

We will rebuild!

 

You should start a Gofundme!

 

Don’t you know? You don’t have to pay for anything, just have a bunch of people on the interweb to pay for it.

 

That's exactly of who …….. (err........what?) .. I thought of!

 

We got over 3” of rain! The new bridge held!

 

Did the rain evaporate before it hit the ground, looks awfully dry??

 

Not much water under the bridge, must be exceptional drainage........................

 

Windy over here in Maine. The closer to the ocean you go, the more impressive the storm became.

 

We got a little under two inches of rain. It's still blowing 20-30MPH. 50+MPH around 2AM. I heard a loud thump and got dressed and went out in case it was a car accident because it sounded like a car went on the curb at speed. I found a red oak branch that will give me half a day of firewood on the ground thisAM so maybe that was it.
Got a bazillion branches down in the yard which we just got all cleaned up and piled up from the last coastal storm a week or so ago.
The price for having some majestic old trees to keep us cool in the Summer.

There's still quite a few people without power. This is just Eversource repair jobs:

The numbers are repairs in process or being investigated. Each repair can be just a couple of people or hundreds. National Grid customers are not represented on this map.

 

Its pretty fun here.. Intermittent power and road closures.. Windy and rainy.. When gusts come thru, the foliage leaves are blowing around like snow flakes. Really pretty!!
