Many of the permanents left due to the storm, and those that stayed have landlines only, and power & phone lines are down. I finally tracked down a friend from a few streets away, and was told that there was no flooding, and minimal debris. So, I'd say we did remarkably well, he will go over and check it out tomorrow.
Still have not heard from/about Tom or Will. Hopefully, all is well.
My only problem is that I borrow the neighbour's compressor to blow out the water at the cottage. Well, he was busy last Tuesday, and I picked it up while off balance, and now my back is paining me. So, it is Aleve, and beer and who cares.
