Disappointed didn't even get to play with the chainsaws.
my family in Kingston got demolished. No power in whole town. Lots of trees down everywhere. Be lucky to have power back by weekend.
like I said, we lucky
wow, really? we lost power for twelve and a half hours... tried to go out and look around, couldn't get more than a mile or so from the house... trees down in both directions... came home, waited awhile for someone to clear the trees... finally got out and drove around... new trees down, couldn't get home.. Main road was still closed this A.M. at Charlotte White...big tree down...
Heard lots of chainsaws and chippers around here today, although I only needed a rake and wheelbarrow for about4-5 hrs...

We are lucky our area has power but a lot Marshfield still out. I had a whole pick up truck bed full of twigs, branches and leaves in my front yard....some big limbs in back need to go tomorrow. Very lucky.
I went for a ride on my motorcycle just now.....BIG mistake. With no streetlights people are driving like total idiots....even streets where there's not even a signal there....stop signs you name it....it's a free for all I almost got creamed 3 times in 45 minutes. Put it back in the garage till things are back to normal.
