On the street just behind us I counted 4 smashed cars and 5 houses with trees either laying on them or though the roofs. There were hundreds of very large trees lying on so many power lines, smashed transformers, downed lines everywhere! We are just starting to clean up. Whew!!!! (We feel extremely fortunate that this is all that happened to our family because we know that other communities have been wiped out almost completely).
And to top this off, there is very little gas for the cars. Where you can find it, there is a 1-2 hour wait on line, usually with a $40 limit. Everyone is carrying around extra gas cans in their cars on the oft chance that when they get gas, they will fill up for a bit extra.
Power was out at our house for 6 days. The street in front of ours still does not have power. It is cold and many have either no heat or no place to live. The schools in my neighborhood have been closed since last Monday. Can you believe it? The kids are getting as weary as their parents.
Oh, had to pick up my 85 year old parents because they don’t have power on their street. They wouldn’t leave their freezing cold house till I almost crowbarred them out of their house to stay here cause we have power and heat now. Those old stubborn depression-era folks...
We have a nor’easter bearing down on us tomorrow, BTW.
OK, now for the absolute worst part- we have almost run out of weed….
Pray for us!
