All is well on the hill! FEROCIOUS winds for 12+ hours, I honestly thought the floor to ceiling windows were coming in. A french door off the sunroom (locked and bolted) actually did blow in but no real damage. I still have to walk the entire fence line, too windy still yesterday. A lot of branches down, the ground is literally strewn. My sister lost some siding. No one in my family (3 in Bucks County PA, me in Berks County PA) has power, parents have no phone but the cell towers are still up so we can reach them. When I called in the outage they said my area wasn't even on the schedule last PM, so expecting 4-7 days like last year's freak October snow storm. I have a generator so I am running that off and on to keep food cold and using space heaters & the fireplace. Had to go quite a way for more gas last PM and wow, it sure is odd in the evening w/o a bit of light in the neighborhoods. The little bit of nuisance until the power goes on is nothing compared to what so many others are experiencing.
