[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 456420, member: 3419"] Sharon, so sorry about the tree. And you didn't even hear it! I'm glad everyone is safe ... albeit grouchy. I know the feeling. I'm in husband's ofc, where he has AC --yes, AC!!! and a microwave. We took separate cars, so I can go home and paint or read by candlelight and flashlight while he and difficult child stay here for another 2 hrs. :) We lost one small pine and several scrub trees. No power, no phones. I can charge up my cell ph in my car (which, by the way, was so covered in debris it looked like a camouflaged army vehicle and I took it to the car wash). And I can get AC in my car. I heard that Ben Franklin is open and one of the Starbucks is open, but they are 20 min away, so it depends upon how desperate I get this week. I raked for a while this a.m. b4 it got to hot. Forgot to wear gloves. Duh. Now I'm wearing BandAids. :( I visited P at her assisted living place. She'd never been through a hurricane b4 and didn't understand what all the fuss was about. She does now! She has no power and no phones (heh heh ... no phone ... I'm kinda liking that ...) and was sitting outside in 92 degree heat in her nightgown and a sweater, chatting with-other residents, happy as a clam. Klmno, I agree, that TV and radio broadcasters can sometimes be lazy. "Power outages" is a worthless phrase. I'm hoping our power is back on tomorrow, but frankly, anything shorter than the 13 days we went after Isabel will be welcome. [/QUOTE]
