Whew, that's a lot of work on your plate! I hope the locust is close to home, it looks like many truck loads. Put it away now, and you'll be burning the 2017 windstorm for many years.
Not too much damage here - couple poplars lost their tops, but that's about it. Having the trees mostly bare helped, as well as the wind not really being too much stronger than we see regularly anyway. Best of luck to those without power and dealing with damage - hopefully some good firewood comes out of it and makes a net positive once all is said and done!
Talked with Stinny via text a while ago and as of this afternoon, he and Vicki were still without power.... Something like 370,000 homes in his area? Wow... We had torrential rain off and on all day yesterday, especially in the afternoon/evening when it really came down. Then around bedtime the wind kicked up pretty good. No downed trees here but a good bit of wind.
I'm hearing areas may be out for another 72+ hrs. Some high tension feeder lines were affected. Best of luck to those folks. Gonna be dark for a while. Sent from my SM-T280 using Tapatalk
I'm about an hour east (jersey shore) and we just got a lot of rain and winds in the 20-35mph range. I have friends in the Medford area and haven't heard of anything bad out that way.
We lost our power here about 1:00 AM today. The "news" people are getting us used to the idea of it being all week until everyone's got juice again. If it weren't for those 2 freezers and both fridg's........
Same here. We got the chit kicked out of us. Trees down all over. Worse than the ice storm of '98. Tree on our side lawn had the top cut off half way up. A big hemlock. Our street wasn'the passable for a while. No power so no water or flush. Have a small generator going for lights. No repair crews. Seems they are clearing roads, or down south helping with the hurricane recovery. I was told we are SOL.
Powerful windy here too. Got up this morning and had a look outside but it was still dark. As the sun came up I had a another look. 3 pine trees uprooted, one snapped off about 20' up and the top of an ash snapped off. The closest neighbor had 2 medium size Red Oak uproot as well as a small cherry. Busy day around here for me.
Oh man, can't like that! We drove to Koup's and Bass Pro today and didn't see any damages at all along 15N.
On Cape Cod there was a recorded wind gust of 93 mph. Atop Mt. Washington in NH it was 130 mph. Good luck Larry, I hope crews can get your way soon.
"In Massachusetts, the National Weather Service says a gust of 93 mph was recorded at 3:49 a.m. at Popponesset Beach in Mashpee on Cape Cod." Still a lot of people with power out in Essex county this morning. http://mema.mapsonline.net/public.html Talked to my sister and she has a broken tree down in her a yard and a tree that is uprooted in her neighbor's yard but in her yard.
Pain in the rear for some but the tree hoarders are happy, more wood for some and more money for some, time for soome to get that overtime at work
Going on 24hr no power here, no gen, we just deal with it, cell is back, work is full generator...gotta keep the mice warm and ventilated...so I'm off to work. We lost one big spruce in the front yard, it will be firewood, didn't hit anything, but I HATE dealing with the frickin root balls, I don't think this one is going to stand back up.
I hope today brings your power back, Larry and Cindy. Eastern MA, NH,and ME really took it on the chin this time.
Only one casualty here. Red oak next to a seasonal stream. Small root ball succeptible to win throw. Took a few down with it and flattened the metal fence. Time to pull out the saw. Should be able to straighten the fence and put it back up. Power out from 0100 til 1700 yesterday. Kept the fridge and freezer closed and we were fine. Good luck to all.
We lost power somewhere between 10 and midnight on Sunday, I got a call from work at 1 am and had to go in, took me 40 minutes to make the normally-12 minute trip due to trees being down on every road I took. Should have taken my truck and saw but I took the wife's SUV instead. Power was out until mid-afternoon yesterday, but we know not to open refrigerators or flush toilets during an outage. Lost three trees that I could see, all small stuff that was either already dead, or damaged. One 6" ash, a dead hornbeam, and a small locust. Not much for the wood stacks but it'll do.
