Getting it on with Sandy

[SVT10th]

Well, that was interesting.
Miracle -- for the 1st time in 6 years or so, I didn't lose power in a storm.

I hope everyone else made it trhough ok. (Of course if you're reading this you still have power/instrenet, or your smartphone is still charged...)

Be Well. Stay Safe.

Well I'm running on small generator & have internet because mine comes from telephone company.
Well according to PSNH web site, my town Chester, 97% of Chester is out. Also 100% of most surrounding towns are all out. Derry has ~ 50% is out. Boy what a mess.

Was worried about my enclosed car trailer & trees even though my car is still in my garage.
Come on spring.

Hoping this storm took out most of weak trees now because winter yet to come is supposed to be stormy & snowey.

Well, after being sent home at noon because there was a leaf that hit someone in the head, we lost power aroud 5:15. This was a great day for us because the last few storms we lost power with the first mention of storm, so we made it a ways into the storm with power. Then we went out for drinks!!!!
Woke up around 6am so Jen could double check that there was no school and right as she grabbed my phone the power came on. 13 hours without power is pretty good.
George, if you need anything let me know!
Hope everyone else is good to go.

That's our thinking as well. We have don't the Coleman lantern and stove in the past!! Usually I just use the grill, but it was raining pretty good last night and we got a little lazy so we just went out to eat.
Good luck!
