No power for the last 2 and a half days.

This area on the south shore of MA* got hit hard with "Riley".* Every
where you drive there are trees down on lines, cars, houses,* power
poles snapped in half, transformers scattered.* Major damage in
some areas.

Just got power back an hour ago.* Survived with my little
generator and
a space heater in the bedroom.* Didn't bother tying it into the
furnace
this time.* House was down to 38 degrees but bedroom was nice and
toasty.

I think I am beginning to believe the climate change people are
right.
Seems like the nor'easters we get now are stronger and more powerful
than I remember from past years.

Anyway, it's finally over.* Gotta get ready for the next one late
next
week.* Hopefully it won't be as bad.



Youse guys need a road trip.



Check out the flooding in Quincy:

Nessie found a new home.



Jokester on Facebook.* There's one of those huge, emergency alert
poles with multiple sirens and speakers to warn of issues with the
nuke plant in Plymouth or other dangers located about 2 miles from us
... or it was.* It also came down in the storm and made a huge mess
all over the road.* Some gusts were recorded at over 100 mph which
isn't unusual in hurricane prone areas but for areas that are rarely
hit with winds that strong they can do a lot of damage.* Nature's way
of clearing of old growth and structures I guess.

Our former house in Duxbury lost a bunch of of roof shingles.* Feel
bad for the owner but glad I don't have to pay to repair or re shingle.:

I don't know if it's true but I heard insurance companies in Florida
won't insure a house with a roof over 15 years old.


Wouldn't surprise me. The ones on the Duxbury house are 19 years old
but are 30 year shingles. So much for that.


Well, the shingles might still be good...if he can find them.
