Well,I've just gotten back online thanks to my emergency generator.
Afterfive small black outs yesterday afternoon, the power finally went down for goodall over my neighborhood at around 5:50PM.
Firstorder of business was to get my wife’s Autocad station back up andrunning off the generator…her back up battery was going fast anddidn’t seem to want to get the computer on…
Lotsof huge trees are down, laying over power lines and in streets.
Sawone power pole snapped in half.
Thelocal Martins grocery is on back up generator.
Theyhave some aisle lights but it is kinda dark...real third world stuff. Only dryand canned goods...all the freezer chilled units are dark, and they hadto ship everything out.
Areal mess.
Ifthis is anything like Isabel...people will be w/o electrical power for up totwo weeks....
Asusual after a hurricane, very nice sunny blue sky day…and HOT……………with no AC.
Andthe lovely sound of chain saws floating on a gentle southern breeze through myopen windows……..
