Thats great your having a nice fall. The longer it stays that way the better, shortens the winter, at least in your mind.... Heidi took a pretty good hit. The power company is telling her that it may be a week before she gets power. At lot of the big transmission lines went down, and also sub stations took a lot of hits from tree's. Where she lives its and older city with lots of big old tree's and they are down everywhere, to the point that have to go house by house. They told her today to hire in the tree crew to get the tree off her roof and also electricians to put back up the entrance head and phone and cable boxes and wire. It also knocked her furnace brick chimney off the roof, so we need to make sure no bricks went down whats left there. There is a cleanout at the bottom. Have to walk there still as a lot of tree's still blocking the roads. She does have 2 fireplace and a wood stove so she has heat from those. She put and insert in one in the living room and it does a nice job of heating....They have city water so no problem with water. She has been coming here for showers.... Strick town on zoning rules and only licences people can do the work, like cutting tree's. Her insurance company said that because they declared it a disaster area, they they have her get hold of the contractors and they pay it after its done with receipts with fair amount of help from the disaster fund. Right now they are having all they can do to get the roads open, not much done at all on the lines yet except the real big feeders lines and hospitals, nursing homes. It will all come together, just going to be slow and nuisance for a week. She has a monster Beach tree in her yard, good thing it didn't come down, the house would be fire wood... These tree's were from the neighbor and they are pitching in also getting legal tree cutters in with boom trucks etc... Dear old Dad just wanted to go up and wack it up, but thats a no no in Manchester, CT.
