We have been on generator power since monday at 230pm. I still have three utility poles that are snapped (and 4 others on the street) and the lines are laying in my front yard and hang 4 feet high across the bottom end of my driveway. Most of my neighbors are now in hotels.
However, I cannot complain as I'm well prepared for this. My generator is purring like a kitten and everything but the clothes dryer is in use (and somehow this morning we now have cable and internet). We have a gas range, and gas hot water, and we heat primarily with wood. Everyone is safe and I have no broken windows or any holes in my roof.
My heart goes out to all of the people that were hit head on by this storm and are really suffering.
