Well it looks like the bridge going into our neighborhood in vermont is wiped out completely, so no one can get in there. And we aren't even sure if we can get near there, MAJOR flooding both routes we can take, and I saw pictures of numerous road wash outs and bridge wash outs. Mess up there

What is your bosses company? You have probably seen us before, we install above ground pools with an 04 f550 6.0 dark blue with dump body pulling a newer bobcat. It's also broken down on the side of the road a lot, not hard to miss hahaha. KJD enterprises

Evening guys.
Aaron they are saying about 7-10 days before I get power back also.
I went for a ride to see my SIL's shed and deck, wow it is trashed.
The tree was a monster.
I will post some pics tomorrow.
Now it is time to turn the generator off and call it a night.

I assume that means you're volunteering your time, Brenden?

30"+ oak came down at my grandparents house. Landed partially on the porch but no significant damage. Enough to make it worth a homeowners claim though. Flood light needs replacing, retractable awning is tweaked, and a gutter is bent plus a few smaller trees down. Cut it off the house already gotta finish it up later.

i lost my dollar bet as well!

i am back in wallingford, there is a lot of branches and debris everywhere but no flooding, that is surprising because usually big rain storms flood the hell out of my immediate area.

I don't think we have enough damage to cover the deductible.

Really not much damage just low on the priority list.

Good morning everyone!
I'm glad that no one's been injured or worse.

Sure the Highway Departments, Tree guys, and Utility Crews and the rest are going to be working hard to clear roads and restore power.
I try to go out of my way to thank them for what they're doing, because I know that 90% of the rest are bitching that they're not done yet.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!
