To our members on the East coast...
I think ordering the evacuations and shut-downs was the smartest thing that Mayor Bloomberg did in this one; that storm could have been much worse, and I shudder to think what could have happened. I feel terrible for the folks up in Vermont, and over in the Catskills, some of those places are going to be cut off for weeks. We got very lucky where I live, lots of trees down and power cuts, but no loss of life, which is a blessing.
Almost nine days ....
OK ... my power in CT was restored last night at 5:30 ... almost nine days after it was knocked out by a huge tree that kept us trapped on our lane for over two days. I just felt like I had to shout out there and say "HELLOOOO". It feels so good to be back in the world. Wasn't it Lady Jane Grey who was the Nine Days Queen? Sure seemed like a long time when you're in 21st century Connecticut without power.
Welcome back to the real world.
At home with a good book and the cat...

Oy, so glad you finally have power back. Hope you had a generator or something!
