We just got power back (and cable) in my neighborhood this evening! Hopefully it stays on. At least 3 people I work with lost their homes and another friend still has a tree leaning on their house that they cant afford to have removed. I feel very fortunate that our tree fell away from the house. There have been lots of reports of looting, ripoffs, fights at gas stations, etc. but I was amazed at the generosity of our community when we went to donate at the shelter yesterday. There were literally 5 school buses filled with clothes, blankets and other items that were donated and that was at just one of the shelters. Its was nice to see since the news stations mostly like to focus on the negatives.
At this point I'm still waiting on the marina to put my boat back on the blocks. The other boats that were surrounding it have been move so hopefully I'm next. With the impending noreaster its in a pretty bad spot if the water rises again. Check out the pics.
