Good luck.Power is out all over town here in NJ
Buck up. We endure power outages all the time. Nine days in Sandy and seven in Irene. I wanted to kill people by the second day; after five days I was rabid. I hate them, but still...a few hours can be a nice change of pace.
Tree fell on my house and across driveway, blocking egress, shortly after 7:00 a.m. this morning. Huge white oak. Sounded like thunder inside the house. Hoping to have it removed tomorrow. Arborist came out to assess and said he will need a bucket truck to pull it off the house. Then we check the damage with claims adjuster...
Good times.
Hoping no more damage tonight; wind is still howling.
Thanks. Yeah I think high tide is trouble for the folks on the shore. Thankfully we're a few miles away from that.Damn. That sucks man. Hang in there. Lots of teees down and power out across eastern Mass. my wife’s cousin texted us from her house a block+ from the ocean in Quincy. Her yard is a lake.
I'm sure they have less serious needs than posting on the Boneyard.Still have power but no cable or internet. I am currently fighting my neighbors for LTE data. Everyone is on it so it keeps bouncing me off
The struggle is realI'm sure they have less serious needs than posting on the Boneyard.
Nine days during Sandy? Try two weeks plus no gas. Psssh, I scoff at your nine days. Scoff.Buck up. We endure power outages all the time. Nine days in Sandy and seven in Irene.

We've had such a run of issues of late I'm actually relieved that no one is hurt and, unlike our failed septic system, this is covered by insurance and should *only* cost the $500 deductible.
Crazy that it happened within minutes of my wife pulling in and when I would otherwise have been pulling out. Would have easily crushed a car and killed the occupant(s).

(Oh but that tree thing is scary. Stay safe!)
Earlier high tide came up to middle beach rd seaweed is all over it now after it went back down. Have a feeling tonight's high tide will make a push a little further. Neck road is probably getting hit pretty bad.
Stay safe

Thoughts and prayers.We never lose power unless something absolutely catastrophic happens. We’ve had the house 18 years and outside of the time the grid went down, we might have had one other interuption that lasted more than a few hours.
But that’s a problem.
Every time the power goes out for a family member, they end up here. Tonight, my mother landed here with her dog.
We do not have pets. There’s never been an animal in the house before tonight. Everything is really, really clean - nothing against pet people, but your houses are never actually clean. They just seem clean to you. In reality, you live in a barn. No-pet clean is like thirty orbits over pet clean.
The dog was in the house for less than a minute before it slipped its collar and peed on the freaking living room couch. My wife is outwardly handling it well. Inwardly, she is on fire and I’m probably going to be killed.
Thank you for making me feel fortunate tonight.We never lose power unless something absolutely catastrophic happens. We’ve had the house 18 years and outside of the time the grid went down, we might have had one other interuption that lasted more than a few hours.

Not even waiting for responses. Just firing them off. Fishy doing his best to keep his head down.
No stair gates? Lie a couple chairs on top of each other in opposite directions at the bottom of the stairs.I’m just sitting and dreading the inevitable.
There’s no way to contain the dog to the downstairs. There are no physical barriers that would prevent this animal from upstairs. It will be upstairs. There’s nothing I can do that will keep this beast downstairs. (“Beast” = 9-pound Havanese.) My wife will see this dog upstairs in this house very shortly. It’s going to happen.
Those are the text messages that I’m really afraid of.
