Same here...still have power in New Hampshire, water is flowing out of my tap just fine, and the leaves on my still-intact corn plants are barely stirring.
Water in our town is gravity fed. If the water stops, it means that the massive water mains have been cut. No hurricane, tornado, or blizzard is going to stop that. The ONLY thing to stop our nice pure water is a massive earthquake or nuke. In either of those cases, we are so screwed anyway.
I happened to drive from Keene NH to Springfield MA on Friday. I had to stop in a couple of stores on the way down. No batteries in any of the larger store. They don’t sell batteries in the liquor NH store.
Ssssh. Don’t tell the Mass State Troopers that I bought a couple of bottles of wine in NH for consumption in MA. I mean, MY GOD...WE could have run out of water! What would we have to drink?

I’m in the western side of NH, near the Connecticut River. Not going so well for us.
About 15% of the state is without power.

Not as bad as the ice storm from a couple years ago, but still substantial. The line and road crews probably won’t be coming out for a while yet, at least till the worst of the wind subsides.
We have a generator. Hoping that our propane will hold out at least that long.
Winds are about what we get in a good snow or ice storm. Not as strong as winds from Thunderstorms, which have left us without power at times throughout the Summer and have taken more than a few trees down.
