Thinking of you Annie and hope you are okay!

I hope your power goes on soon Eld! Wow ded that was a silly thing your neighbour did.

Sorry for anyone else who got caught in the storm.

I too will be watching this post and I pray that Annie is just without power and no severe damage to her home and property.

Hopefully she is Ok and have a generator.

🤞🏻 for good news of Annie Deighnaugh soon.

I keep checking in for updates. Hoping you’re safe and well Annie.

My DS lives in Milford, CT and has not had power since Tuesday afternoon.

Someone on another forum lives in CT, and he just said that there are 600,000 people still without power.

ded....That's crazy!

I haven't turned on the news. My neighbor and friend is doing a house addition, 22'x22' room....been over there observing.

Yes, thanks, I’m asleep n Florida so it doesn’t affect me. My oldest was staying at my house but luckily had to go back to the city for work . And they have electric.

NY and CT are states Of disaster.

Parts off my town I hear now have electric. Not sure yet if my house is included in that.

We will keep this post going until we hear from Annie.

I heard from Annie! As we thought, her area was hit hard by the storm. She is fine but there is no power, no internet and very little cell service. Guess we’ll have to carry on without her, hard as that will be.

Yes, that picture is the Penn Rd underpass, my usual route to While Foods. Bookwoman, we were neighbors and didn’t know it.

I'm just a few miles west now. :-) Glad all is well with Annie!

Maire Cate, the generator hasn’t been installed yet. Half my street lost power but mine stayed on. I would have been fit to be tied if I was out of power while waiting for that to be installed. Electrician is backed up so it will be awhile yet.

Thanks for letting us know that all is well with Annie.

Ded -That’s a relief, I’m glad you heard from Annie - and that you didn't lose power either. We have a whole house generator at our place in the mountains because of frequent and prolonged outages - occasionally lasting 4 - 6 days. Since it's rural we're not a high priority so the generator has been a real life-saver. We haven't installed one here because other than this storm the longest this neighborhood has been without power was 6 hours.

I spoke with one of the NOAA Phila/Mount Holly weather guys last year and he told me that they are forecasting more frequent and more severe storms for our area. So we're considering getting one - or we might offer to go halves with my son. Now that he has a toddler and hoping to have another one soon he could really use it and he only lives 8 miles from us.

I am so happy to hear all is relatively well in Annie's world. I hope things right themselves for everyone quickly.

Ded, thanks for letting us know.

I just checked in and scrolled through. I was just worried then very relieved to hear you’re ok Annie. Hope power is back soon.

Glad you heard from her, what a nightmare for them. I hope their power is on soon!

I’m so glad you heard from her! Thank you!

Happy to hear she is safe!

I'm glad she's okay. Even when you're prepared for a power outage, it makes everything hard.

Glad she is ok. Tell her to get a potable generator. It could be worse if it’s a snow storm, she’d have no heat.

One town over said they had over 100 roads blocked by downed wires and trees!

Thanks summersrhythm. We have an automatic generator who is doing a great job. We call her Jenny. Though she’s not potable or edible. ;)

Hey! Good to see you back!

Glad to hear you are doing fairly well Annie. Looking forward to your full return. Take care.

Some towns in NJ will not have power until August 11th at the earliest.

So happy to see your pretty monogram appear!

Glad to hear you have an auto generator! That’s the best. We are thinking about getting one at the new house. Be safe!

Happy to see you back Annie! I know my sister got power back last night, but my niece, also in Bergen County was told could be until Aug 11 as well. The area we used to live in Central NJ got mostly restored yesterday as well. Ded and Bookwoman, my daughter in your neck of the woods didn't lose power this time, but due to all the other times, they did get a generator which they have used several times already.

Thankfully we only had lights flicker for about a minute.

Stay well everyone- stay dry and stay safe!!!!

Glad everyone is okay. Our area had some damage but not as bad as other storms. One of our golf courses is still closed as they continue to do clean up. The storm pretty much passed through the night. Like you, Annie, we have a full house generator as of last year. It's such great peace of mind. I understand the electricity in our area was off for a few hours but all was normal here. :-)))

Nice to see you made it back, Annie. I hope you regain power quickly.

Good to hear you are ok, Annie. Hang in there!

salonva, we have a generator, and while we didn't lose power this time, it's happened often enough that we are grateful to have it. This area is so beautiful, with so many large trees...and that's also a downside in these storms.

We usually lose power every time someone sneezes hard. As Bookwoman says, we have above ground wiring and lots of old trees, a perfect storm (ha ha) for power outages.

I drove out to the mall today and ran into several detours due to downed trees. The forecast is for a bad hurricane season so my electrician better get my generator installed soon!

I hope people who have never had anything to do with generators know that they may need a large supply of gasoline stored away from the generator and the house.

Last year I looked at requirements and here the generator must be ten feet from any dwelling if placing them legally.

Malfleur, mine will be hooked into my natural gas supply. I’d be too nervous to have that much gasoline around. Even the can of gas for the lawn mower bothers me.

I’m figuring maybe by M or T now. Some rain and t storms will slow things down today. I still have to drive to find cell coverage. Went for a walk yesterday and had to turn around. This was across the road

Ouch.Hoping it gets restored sooner Annie. ( My niece is still waiting as well... Bergen County NJ.)

Glad to see that you're out walking again - even if your world is a little off-kilter. Hope the power comes back sooner than they anticipate. Our electric company kept postponing the date for return of service but then it almost miraculously came on 2 days early.

Very glad you are all right Annie! Hoping your estimated time for power comes true or even sooner.

I hope Jenny the Generator is keeping you safe. That is quite a picture. Stay safe.

We are still without power in Rockland County NY. So saddened by those without generators loosing their freezer/fridge foods. Near us are wires hanging like a pound of pasta along one near stretch of road. (that road was blocked off until this morning). DH stopped counting...

I have a personal hot-spot for internet. Includes family. Set it up last year during an outage and took 20minutes. So worth it, so that is an option. Necessary for Zoom meetings. It gives us full internet access.

We set up a charging station in our front yard, ran a heavy duty power cord to our closest new neighbors with young children. Canceled a food order so we could fit some of their freezer foods in our big upright. (we have plenty).

Fortunately the weather is pleasant.

Wahoo!!! Finally got power!!

No internet yet though

Congrats Annie! Good to hear.

Great.

baby steps... :)

Yay! Hope internet comes back fast for you!

Hi Annie....I’m in your state too and just got power back about an hour ago too! Thank goodness for generators though❤️ I haven’t thought of naming ours but after these 4 days....she deserves a beautiful one!
