Barrington still has no power and it could be a few days, a few people i know in Bristol and Barrington had their houses completely crushed by trees. So not that big a Joke.

No power at home but work is fine...figures. We're being told it could be 5 days or so before power is restored? NG trucks are driving around "assessing the damage", marking the damaged areas with traffic cones then leaving.

we are for the most part fine in westport. Drove around town yesterday and very few trees down. Only lost power for about 2 hrs. Had to struggle to pickup enough twigs in my yard to fill the wheelbarrel. Took me longer to pick stuff up in prep and put it all back than it did to clean up. 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

I drove to NH friday to fish, no wind no waves till saturday night, quit at around midnite and took a nap. drove back to VT in the rain and was home by 7 am. Power never went out, no trauma in my life. My mother called me and one of my brothers was worried about staying at his house below a dam and went to Killington, He' s stuck there for a while, another brothers woodshop got almost washed out that is the water washed everything out around it. Downtown Brandon VT got washed out. I kinda like living in a high spot in the swamp.

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. |

No power for 36 hours. Tree uprooted fell on my house. Another tree broke top off and landed on yard, luckily didn't take down the power lines.
All in all , the tree on the house put it over the top as a PITA. I can do without power etc but having that tree draped over the house while I wait for a tree guy is very worrysome.
I'm online at Panera. Time for a soup and sandwich

Considering how far we are from the center that's still pretty good. A real drop below 29 should indicate a Cat 1 landing which we certainly didn't have.
