Hurricane Central

[pomtzu]

We're still hangin in with no real damage as yet, but the worst is still not going to get here till tonight. We are very windblown and rain soaked. The front yard next door is under water and is spilling over into our side yard, and the landscaping timbers that edged his driveway are floating all around his yard - the drainage ditch by the road is overflowing into our front yard - but all petty compared to what's going on right along the shore. Fortunately no trees down right here yet, just some branches - and we still have power.

Poor little Myndi was really agitated and antsy this morning - it's so strange how animals can sense events like this without even going out of the house. She wouldn't even eat her breakfast, but finally settled down around lunchtime. I held her on my lap most of the morning, so I think that calmed her. Of course she doesn't appreciate having to go outside in this storm to go potty - just as I don't think too fondly of the thought of going out in this mess either. Grandson has been appointed Chief of Myndi Potty Patrol! I ain't no dummy.....

Is that in your neighborhood??

Is that in your neighborhood??

No, that was in Milford CT. We have a tree branch from the yard behind us in our yard. Our neighbors fence is all collapsed and mangled. We have a huge tree branch on our pool cover to. We still have power though that in itself is a miracle!

Wow. I can just see it. "power lines take down by trampoline"

A Boston weather forecaster said the worst of the winds were probably over a couple hours ago, but it is still very blustery here. Not much rain now, but earlier in the day it was alternately pouring, just raining, or just drizzling. Lots of folks in the area are without power, including other in our town, but we are okay so far.

Just lost power no clue how long it'll be out. I'll try to keep you updated!

I keep checking back to see how you all are doing. I KNOW what it's like to be without power--either from ice storms or hurricanes--not fun. You all hang in there and be careful.

Since we live in the middle of the woods, we were hit with a lot of downed trees and wires. We lost power on Monday and are not expected to have power until Nov. 11th. I am staying at the emergency shelter during the day and going back home at night to take care of Neko.
