Uh oh...I take it because Chair didn't start this thread that he is still without power....I lost power late Thursday and got it back this morning. I know Chair is near the Potomac and I think they are still expecting a crest as the water runs out of the mountains into the River. I'll check yesterday's thread to see what I missed.

Missed you guys and had to put up with a grumpy husband who felt that this hurricane was somehow personally aimed at him. He's an engineer and being without electricity and the battery run down on his laptop was almost more than he (and I!) could stand.

Glad to have electricity back - - I wonder how our forebears built such a great nation without it?

Fairfax County Virginia now has its water plants back online, but it still telling everyone to boil water before using, until they can get in and flush the lines and test it. Living on bottled water at the moment. Otherwise, things are 100% better than yesterday. Didn't look like we lost any shingles (heard wind gusts were above 60 mph) and just got lots of leaves and some small twigs down. No big trees down on our street.

Lots of rain....

As a funny, my neighbor and I were talking outside and she pointed to the beautiful red rose on the rosebush in my front yard. I said, "yeah, and probably by tomorrow it'll be in Loudon county!". Well, when I went out yesterday to check on damage, there was that rose, with not a petal missing, while all around it were scattered leaves and tree debris. Immediately upon looking at it, I was impressed with the notion that our safety was at the hand of God, and that this little rose was a testament to His faithfulness.

Well, gotta put away the hurricane lamps, wind-up radios, candles, etc., and try to clean up the debris we tracked into the house.....and do laundry...and dishes....and vacuum...dust.....and make some meals because most restaurants are closed until the "all clear" is given on the water situation.

Take care all! I'm going to check the hurricane threads to see how other Freepers made out.....

The Vols won today (beat the Gators in the Swamp)......the whole down gets drunk - so best to be on the 'puter
