Yeah, it's a mess from the whole coast, Boston, and a few inner ring suburbs. Lots of power outages. We are sitting in our sunroom, with the shades opened, so we can watch. About 30 minutes ago, we heard a big boom and crash, but we don't see any limbs down. We have small wetlands area behind us, so most likely in there. At first, I thought a branch fell on our neighbor's roof, at the end of the 3 attached townhomes, but, nothing. The gusts seem to be coming less frequently, though still coming.
We have a municipal electric company and if there is a problem, it's fixed pronto. So much better! During Sandy, my power went out for 2 hours, while neighboring towns had days of it. The last town I lived in also had a municipal utility, shared with one other town. That saw us through 10 years of some fierce winter storms, where some of our friends had to go to hotels for a week. A lot of people around here do have generators; I know my friend on the Cape has one, but she also had one in her home here.
It's nice to have a cozy day and evening, but then again, I am not near the really dangerous stuff.
