I cannot imagine what it must be like and how devastating it is and the personal losses people have to suffer.<br />I can remember the Great Storm that we had in 1987 when 22 people died which was a 'one off' thing. The last storm before that was in 1703 !!!!<br />Anyway, I'm so pleased that you have power now and, I suppose the big clean up starts now. <br />It's lovely to know that you, George and the cats are fine but, terrible to think of the people that have lost everything. Here's hoping that Old Saybrook doesn't get another one for 250 years !! Lots of love.

You and man...SO glad to see a post from you Carole. You and many other blogging friends were on my mind and still are after Irene. I couldn't believe all the damage in Vermont that has been in the news. I am sure there is so much we will never see because there is so much to cover and the media has a short attention span and are always on to the next big thing. Thank goodness you didn't have to leave your home and that power was restored sooner than you thought it might be. I hate going without power and unfortunately <br />here in rural Idaho it happens more than I would like. <br />Dale, being in law enforcement and on Search and Rescue, we have our packs and plan in order. Two years ago I took preparedness classes and learned so much on how to keep us safe in almost any circumstance. They trained us on things I couldn't even imagine could happen to a person. SCARY! But important to know.<br />We can never be too prepared. So glad to know you are safe.<br />hugs from here...Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283259375743586344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-33514893314888736422011-09-01T21:34:47.970-04:002011-09-01T21:34:47.970-04:00You know how thankful I am that you guys are OK.

The gas stations were out of gas and needed elect to pump anyway.<br />After this, I will never give up the landline!<br /><br />We had tree damage, and of course food had to be dumped. The worst was the power co. not releasing info via the local radio stations, it was the only way people to find out what was going on. <br />Some had no water as they are on wells. <br />It wasn't fun!<br />Ready for the next one?Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323768335143979148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-79800598741878686292011-09-01T20:24:18.708-04:002011-09-01T20:24:18.708-04:00So glad you and yours are OK, and glad you didn...So glad you and yours are OK, and glad you didn't have to go long without power!
