Boat Cover Part Deux

[Monkey Butler]

Did anyone have December 12th in the boat cover death pool?

I got hit by the ice storm last week. We lost power at 11:00PM last Thursday and are still out. I am very fortunate to have been spared any damage to speak of while many around me have not.

My daughter was driving home from school in VA and thankfully got home around 10:00PM just before the worst hit. It was a long night listening to trees and limbs crashing down around us.

Here is what I woke up to on Friday morning.



Actually the frame was holding up pretty well but it sustained a direct hit by an ice covered branch. It's an easy fix. Some of my neighboors were less fortunate.





There are other people in my neighboorhood who sustained damage to their homes that has left the interiors exposed to the elements. I'm praying for fair weather for these folks until they can get them patched up.

It was crazy out on the roads, driving over, under and thru downed trees and power lines. Here are some random photos that we took.























Sunday night crews showed up on our street which was sooner than I expected considering all of the damge around us.







These guys came a long way to help us out and I appreciate them being away from their homes and families this time of year. Power is still out but I'm glad that they are working on it!
