We just went out for tacos and a drive around our area to survey the damage. Overall, the damage in our area is light with relatively few uprooted trees and mostly passable roadways. However, three houses down the hill from us the power line is down, knocking out power for at least a couple of miles in the direction. While, a half mile up the hill, the street light is out. Somehow, we live in a tiny pocket of no more than twenty homes that avoided a power outage. And that’s a good thing because there is no telling how many days it will be before power is restored to those who lost it. Someone has already put up yard signs all over advertising generators.
There is flooding is some of the low-lying areas around here, too, but they are predicting that it will recede fairly quickly. Compared to what people south and east of here experienced, we got off lightly.
What did you experience in your area?
