Goodnight Irene!!!!!

[nsfd95]

Woke up this morning still had power. Not much damage in the yard, one good size branch down. Nothing down in the road as far I can see. So far only call for the fire dept. for wires so far. No calls to go to work yet either, so no OT yet. Hope everybody down south of here made it through safe and everybody north of here good luck.

Good to hear! Hoping for the same in southern NH! Cheers!

just started raining lightly up here. No wind to speak of, yet. was supposed to get a moderate storm out of this, but not yet. Good luck to those that got hit.

It sounds as if a lot of people got lucky this time. Can you imagine though what it would have been like if that had came ashore as a Category 4?!

 

[nsfd95]

If a Cat 4 hit we would be SCREWED

Glad to hear that, up hear we have some rain but nothing for wind yet. Our problem will be all the rain they get in the Adirondacks (Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake) coming down the rivers and brooks.

Dune Road down along the ocean is under three foot of water and just had a 10 inch diameter locust fall in the yard. Glad its good wood!!

It has been definitely downgraded. The eye just hit Connecticut, winds gusting to 65 mph. If it stayed in the ocean, it would have been worse. It looks like I'll be raking leaves two times this year. Coastal towns are taking a beating thought from the storm surge. Boats are being tossed around their moorings like toys.

We have white pine around the house so this morning was spent getting equipment for processing firewood out to safer areas.

Even thought its been down graded she's still blowing pretty good.

We've been pretty fortunate so far, here in western ct. The lights have flickered a few times but we haven't lost power. Two medium sized locusts are down. One just missed our pear tree, the other is hung up on some other trees (both trees are far from any structures). We're hanging in the basement till the winds die down.

Power flickered here as well a few times this morning, but as is well for the moment. About ready to fill up the saws and take a ride. Just being a good samaritan, to see if anyone needs a little clean up help.
