We lost power about 1200 yesterday, but the winds really didn't pick up untul about 1700. We came though the storm pretty well, but I've worked all day today helping neighbors remove downed trees from their houses with my chainsaw. We also drove over to our church and helped clear debris there for Sunday services.
Right now, we're under curfew in Newport News tonight and are supposed to boil water for the next couple of days. Dominion Power is already saying it may take up to a week to restore power.
My family and I are O.K. I have 35 gallons of water jugged for emergencies plus propane and camp fuel out the whazzoo. We have canned and dry food enough for a week, so we're in good shape.
I'll check in now and again to see what's happening in the world. Meanwhile, please pray for those who need help. Oh, and zot any trolls for me!!
Thanks! Jonah.
