We're back home today after hiding out on the east coast for the
storm. Things are mostly OK meaning no really serious damage, but
quite a few little things. Still no power but I'm running the house
from the generator on the boat which gives us lights and air
conditioning as long as that holds out.

Pool cage frame is OK but screen panels are totaled. Found a couple
of roof shingles on the ground but not yet sure where they came from -
no obvious leaks yet.

We made it over to the east coast and back in my truck on only one
tank of gas. I had a couple of jerrry jugs in back but didn't need
them. We only saw two filling stations open today while coming across
the state and both had huge lines. Power is mostly off on both coasts
with police directing traffic at busy intersections. Otherwise people
are treating intersections as 4 way stops which seems to be working
out OK for the most part.

Follow up: We got power back about 6:00PM along with telephone
service and high speed internet. I was expecting to be without power
for as long as a week based on our experience with Charlie in 2004.

Hope you hug a power man today!
