Power just came on after 4.5 hours of being out. Sitting here alone, with just flashlights, was not fun. My friends checked in on me and my driveway neighbor did, too, but I had fun texting DH as he sat eating a delicious dinner in Torino, Italy. Our battery operated radio that worked Saturday when I checked it, did not work. I changed the batteries, still didn't work. I ended up downloading streaming video from a local TV station onto my I Phone to get periodic updates and hoped I wouldn't have to go outside to charge my phone in the car. It's still raining badly here, with wind gusts that are diminishing, though. I think the storm has hit us harder than expected. The coastal communities are wrecked and I've seen lots of pictures of trees down and crashed through houses. Power still out in the neighboring towns that rely on National Grid.
