Can you imagine what it would have been like if the temp had been ten degrees lower and it was snow instead of rain??!<br /><br />Sue - Although we don't notice the fallen trees in our thick woods (other than when they fall across one of our hiking paths!), it's always sad to see the bare spot one around the house/yard area makes when we lose it.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-11183270502387676412010-10-28T07:32:57.720-05:002010-10-28T07:32:57.720-05:00We spent the day without electric-I'm actually...We spent the day without electric-I'm actually surprised it waited till the second day of the storm.<br />Glad you guys are okay.

If I do I'll go through town and check out the wave action.<br /><br />We kept both our Tercels ('85 and '86) going for many years but finally had to retire the '86 a couple of years ago. I'm hoping I die before my '85 does! Love it.<br /><br />Kelly - Coulda been a lot worse.

The rain has stopped but we're still having sporadic high winds.<br /><br />This has been a weird fall. I just can't seem to get all the end of the summer stuff done and everything outside ready for winter. Will I ever find PIECE??<br /><br />Yvette - Sunshine and cold temps they say! Well, it's darn close to November 1st so I guess it's time!<br /><br />No pie today, but as soon as the Pumpkin Bars cool and I frost them, they'll be ready! ;o)<br /><br />Jane - Our panels are mounted on a tracker or pole out in the field. Very vulnerable to winds. So when such a situation occurs, hubby goes out and flips the switch so they aren't on automatic (following the sun) and manually turns them so they are perfectly parallel to the ground. That's supposed to be the position where they are the least apt to sustain wind damage. Then we cross our fingers.<br /><br />Jen - Amen to that!<br /><br />Susan - Yeah, things that go bump in the night, huh? We both thought our metal deck furniture was going to be forever lost in the woods from the noise we were hearing. Happily, it wasn't. I kept hearing thunk-chunks and asking hubby, "Did you hear that?" "Uh-huh." "What do you think it was?" "Dunno." I was truly surprised to see our two wood stove chimney still standing on the roof this morning.<br /><br />Erin - I've sent darling daughter an e-mail but haven't heard anything from her yet. She's due in town momentarily . . . I think.<br /><br />Hubby just came in from going all the way out the drive.

There is nothing (in my opinion) worse than lying in bed in the dark, with the wind raging all around you. I usually think I hear the chicken coop sailing to Massachusetts, sheep in Connecticut and llama in Vermont. Or so it seems. In the morning it is usually not as bad as I had imagined. I'm glad there was not damage to the house.

Now I am wondering if the array will just rip off the frame and fly away like a magic carpet?
