“Little damage seen in many places”

I'd say the headline should be:

“Little major damage seen in many places”

Where I live, 60% of folks lost power during the storm (about 20% of those folks have had it restored so far). That's hardly “little damage,” but most of it is just downed trees and lines, so it's minor damage.

But lots and lots of it. Lots and lots of minor damage.

We have no damage that we can see but still no power since last night.

For people with power outage, check the refrigerator.

If power is out for very long, meats mostly will go bad and you will probably have to get new refrigerator.

Ruined food can leave a stench that will ruin refrigerator.

I’m in NJ...45 miles inland from the coast. It’s after 5 o’clock, and winds continue...they are from the W at 28mph gusting to 44mph.

I wish they’d stop! I am so afraid of the neighbor’s huge tree falling. If it does, it will fall right into my bedroom. Our ground is so saturated, not only from Hurricane Irene’s torrential rain, but from August’s record rainfall.
