So relieved to hear from all of you. I am in the sw corner of PA and all I got was a dusting of snow. I was expecting much worse. My prayers for all who have suffered losses. Been there before, but was lucky this time.

Thank you my friend.

Had an evergreen uproot and rock towards the kitchen...heard my son yelling for me, and my son and I LAUNCHED ourselves onto it, using our weight to direct it away from the house and down the little slope next to my house. It was a +35 foot tree, not real heavy but enough to break the roof and windows if it hit.

Just finished chainsawing it yesterday. What a mess. had water come in on the back porch, lost some shingles from the roof, busted fence, power was out for 30 hours...
But it could have been much, much worse. God is good.

One thing stands out - the sound of generators humming all over the place. Neighbors were plugging into other neighbors generators, helping each other out, sharing gasoline, food, candles, lanterns, etc. I had oil lamps going and lent my neighbors a few and the oil to go with them.

And we’re good. Battered a bit, but good to go. Damned Proud of my people...
