I got home and found that i have power. What i didn't have was a garbage can. for some reason, we always have wind storms on garbage collection day; and our cans blow away.
Three of us on the block could not find our cans; but when one neighbor went all the way up the block and found HIS, i followed suit and found my own. What a relief!
and that is the extent so far of the damage I have suffered from this storm. A lot of people are without power though.
