Only 2 gas stations, 3 groc store, 2 restr open" Not yet confirmed, but Nat. Grid map has lots of the city w/o power. drat! I was planning on giving a quiz Wednesday Quiz them on the storm.

With nearly 30" here we only lost power briefly (about 2 minutes). No leaves on the trees saved us. The landscape here was snow ready. Down in the Valley not so much.

sctvman Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 ESPN was out of power for hours. They couldn't bring in the experts they usually bring in like Skip Bayless for their BCS show that they usually do, and only could get Kirk Herbstreit on the phone.

Blue Ridge Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 This thread has been a pleasure to read over the past 24 hours. It's been several years since I was part of anything remotely close to this (during any month of winter). The snow weenie and extremist in me is ready for more; the rationalist in me says no, haha. Congratulations to those who made it out of this unscathed. Good luck to those who have long days ahead of them. This magnitude of storm is unfathomable for October; the level of damage and number of power outages is, from an outsider's perspective, awe-inspiring.

Johnno Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Worst damage ever around here, we moved my 90 yr old grandmother here cause of the generator and heat. She says that she has never seen anything like it and shes been here her whole life. Plowing from barkhamstead to avon mountain Saturday night was dark and dangeous. First time that every town was dark, not one light anywhere in usually busy commerical districts. Trees falling like toothpicks infront, behind us, we sawed until we realized that it was crazy with more trees dropping around us and we stuck to just pushing what we could out of the way with the trucks. I could not believe the people out either, these idiots must have had a death wish, one guy actually driving into a tree we were cutting up in the road. Plan for today is to find some gas ffor the generator and some more food supplies. The damage on our road alone will be multiple days to fix so were guessing power is atleast a week away here. Good luck everyone, signing off the 3g for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
