Glad your power is back, Paul. Got mine back around 6:30 last evening. But Comcast says cable and internet won’t be restored until Monday pm.

Seriously, I’m not one to exaggerate. I can honestly say I’ve never personally seen such damage from a storm in my life. Not Sandy, not any of our ice storms or any other severe weather events. But again, it was very localized to just a certain area of my neighborhood. Two, three streets over, just your typical storm damage, if any. It’s almost like an F0 tornado came through, but I’m certain it was straight-line winds. Anyway...

86F/69DP. Not the most comfortable today to play with the chainsaw, but at least the AC is running!

With a cold one awaiting and AC kicking you'll forget all about the hot/muggy chainsaw activity when all is said and done...
