Holy cow. We caught the tail end of the wind storm that ravaged through
the US. I have never seen such powerful sustained winds. They did a lot
of damage. I lost power at 8 am and it finally came back on at 10:30 pm.
There was a tree down a few doors down that took out electrical and
telephone lines. Luckily, one of my neighbours offered to come over with
his generator to run my sump pump for a while, and my fridge. The lower
part of my cellar had a few inches of water in it.
No electricity means no water. The positive side of the high water table
is that my well was filled to within 3 feet of the top so it was easy to
get pails full of water to flush the toilet and to wash.
After spending much of the last two weeks working on hiking trails in
the weeds behind our house I have a bunch more work cut out for me.
There are several trees down across the trails.
