Power has been going up and down at several of my client sites as I get notifications when that happens. I have shut down preselected equipment at many sites already.

It's gone now.

Not sure if the wind blew it onto my yard or a squirrel took it.

You were supposed to stock up yesterday. The little shop in Adamsville is only 5 minutes away and has a nice selection.

Woke up about 8 AM. just heavy rain on roof. Still have power here. Expect strong band starting in about 2 hours according to radar. Probably biggest gusts. Looks like the worst of it but its a strong wide band so we will see. . Right now its a non event. Could change as the afternoon goes on and the long exposure to moderate wind starts to take its toll on weak trees , etc.

New York looks to be doing well. Not the flooding that was anticipated.

I'm hoping the trees hold up
