Three houses on our block had big trees land on them, another had a very near miss, and our neighbors across the street had six 80’ trees down – nothing hit the house or the cars. We lost power for 15 hours Fri.-Sat., and got back cable/internet this afternoon. We are the only house on our block with power this time around – last time (in the winter) we were the only ones without it.

We were prepared to bug out to a hotel. We have been offering ice, food and a cool place to sleep for anyone who is still in the neighborhood. I think a lot of folks have left for the week. I know a few folks have bought generators in the past few days – it’s noisier at night than it was Saturday.
