[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 456313, member: 805"] The just announced that this is the second largest power outage in Virginia history (second only to Isabelle in 2003) and 1/2 of those are in Richmond! difficult child and I just got back to checking out the neighborhood. Trees down galore. One dutch colonial had it's second floor split exactly in half by a fallen tree - everyone safe though. When you live in an urban forest, you learn to sleep on the 1st floor during a storm! We have really weird power grids here and there are five of us at my end of the block with power but the other 80% of the block are dark. My cousin, who doesn't live too far from me, has been without power since last night. She will be bringing the meat from her freezer over shortly. She was out at 6 am to find ice - it's hard to find around here. TM, easy child is at her place with no power but she's downtown so the power should be restored soon. She left here about 6 last night for a hurricane party! But she's a city girl and carried her flashlight in her purse - came in handy at midnight when she got to her place with no power. Crazy, since you are so close to all that commercial, I bet your power will be on shortly!!!! How did the grands do with the outage? Fran, underground utilities are the bomb! You have definitely been through your share of hurricanes. Sharon [/QUOTE]
