so how is everyone in the north east. see a few names on face book but none checked in here yet. everyone Ok did my car make it threw or do I need to collect on it. notice how I asked about the people first. a lot of rain dumped over the water shed in a short time. :4_11_9: stuff we get out here but never that much ground at once. a reguler male ran as the southwest boys say.
 
We're OK here on the coast, your car was in the garage Ed, so no need to collect yet. Paul's neck of the woods west of us was a lot worse off. We did have a lot of downed trees, and many hours at the firehouse, but no lives lost here.
 
We are fine in CT. We still ahave no power and their saying we may not have until Wednesday. UGH! We are safe and that's all that counts. We lost a
member of our towns Public Works Dert. to a very tragic accident. After working many hours in the storm, he went home to shower and rest. He went out on his porch and didn't realize there was a downed wire wrapped around his house. He touched a metal handrail. He was killed instantly.
He was 52 years old and the father of 2. So what if we have no power,
we should be grateful that's all that happened.
 
Still no power!!!!!!!!

We survived with no damage at the house other than no power. We are in a relatively remote part of eastern Ct. and they tell us power might still be several days away. There are still trees, poles and wires down all around us. The only bright spot is that the house is equiped with a built in generator that will run everything.

I almost feel ashamed to tell you that I weathered the storm fine. In fact no damage at all. Here in Chatham we have had thunder storms that caused more damage! I feel left out, did not feel the earth quake nor did the hurricane seem any different that a rain storm. Now just outside of town there was all sorts of flood damage. Around here the storm put new meaning to the statement; "you can't get there from here!" But we made out a lot better than those in the neighboring county (Greene County) were there was one whole town that was washed away. Over in Greene the statement is; "You can't get there!" The only way to reach some of the towns, yes that's whole towns, is to fly in by helicopter.
 
Power was restored late this afternoon, however, the road to our home is still littered with down trees. I have a weeks worth of reading to do on the website, just don't know where to start.
