We got hit pretty well from the storm. I woke up Monday morning to the grid being down. Rain and wind were heavy. My house battery bank was topped off so it wasn’t too big a deal. Surprisingly, the grid was back up by noon. I was impressed.
Our regular internet service was also down. However, we still had a cell phone signal so the phone became a hotspot for the computer. That came back around the same time as the grid.
The rain, and snow melt from 50+ temperatures caused significant flooding. While our house was fine, we gave up on going anywhere. Roads were flooded or washed out in all directions.
It’s good to have a well stocked pantry and my own backup power.

Was worried about you. Glad to hear your well.
ReplyDeleteMy area has some flooding, but the Pemi is going to be cresting pretty soon.
Happy I live on a hill, even when it's effectively an island for a while.
I wasn't worried but you never know. This is one of the things we prep for.
DeleteThere was a first here, they called school due to rain and road closures. That's a first for me. WE actualy called it a snow day even though the governor did the original order. My main road to work had a river flowing over it from Success. I drove the other direction. Spooky.
