*irene*

Got through everything OK here! Daughter has 6-8 trees down surrounding their house but none hit!!! Can't get out tho...3 are across driveway! No power there either, transformers went balooie last night about 9.....Son ok. All -in - all, MD didn't do too badly. 800,000 without power..... normal for a bad rainstorm. LOTS of trees down.

It's over here, all is good, still at work. Will probably have over 10 hours ot when I'm done
 
got water in the basement, maybe around 40 gallons, a few high spots were dry some low spots had about 1/4" puddles. Been sucking it up with the dry vac. Lots of branches down and some are snapped from high up and hanging down. Just a big mess to clean up, all things considered not too bad and we did not loose power and that is a big plus. Guess i need to look into a french drain and sump pump.

all the stuff in the basement was on shelves, in plastic bins, etc, so just a big mess to move every thing and clean up and make sure we get no mold.

ok, back to cleaning up.
 
Here in Western MA, the Weather Channel radar shows the rain ending in a few hours, although looking out my window, its still raining and windy. Looks as though it should be gone soon enough. There is still a large piece of the cell to the west of us, but they project that to move north and completely miss us. So, that being said, I guess that's all....

I was listening to the scanner for my city, and the city next to mine, and all last night and this morning, there were reports of tons of trees and lines down. We lost power for about an hour this morning, but now all is well.

the mac book air has about 1hr left and the ups is doing good just powering the modem and router. just long enough to book some rooms at the marriot about 20 mins away and should avoid any flooding other local hotels were land locked and i had no way to get to them. :eek:
 
That sucks! Hopefully it all works out. We didn't get much of anything here in this part of MA. There is some heavy flooding in all neighboring cites/towns, but we seemed to have lucked out. I'm going to go take a ride around and see whats up.
 
still no power, checked into the hotel, showed, eat, AC is on, Internet working. What would normally take 20 mins, took over 1.5 hours. we are signed up to get alerts from the local police, they did not tell us a major road was closed, so i had to go south west until there was basically no river crossing around me just a stream. my area was a peninsula

here are some photos, these are some of the crossing we tried to use

I'm glad you and your family are safe, Steve. I am glad to hear that damage to the house was minor. Relax, and sleep well.

speaking about being safe, i got hit in the head with a falling branch, it hurt, got a nice skin rash on my side burn and bruise on my shoulder. this was this afternoon, well after the storm was over but we would get gust now and then.
 
So who got some good stuff? (looks at Mike)

I got a nice street sign, and I would have loved to have snapped up this huge buoy that broke free, but I would have needed 3 of me... and I have no idea how I would have gotten it home...

still... I want it... :D
 
:D what does the street sign say? any other "finds?"

How did the house and the DadSax CE fare the storm?
