Thank you all from out of state who are coming to help us. Hurricane Irene was nothing for us, so we expected the same.
all of us were out walking the neighborhood surveying the damage and it actually looks like a tornado funnel came through....it looked like a direct line that took down all the trees and wires.
We from the South who have lived through many hurricanes know that it is the tornadoes spawned by the storms that do much of the damage. Glad to hear your family is safe, though I know it is inconvenient for all of you.
