Sounds similar to the aftermath from Hurricane Fran. We went 10 days
without power after that storm. Fortunately we didn't suffer any damage to
our house. 75% of the houses in my neighborhood ended up with at least one
tree on the house, how we missed being one of them I'll never know.
Good luck with the clean up. Life without electricity is no fun.
Especially if you are well water or electric furnace (we have gas so we had
hot water during the power outage and we could cook).
Good luck and hopefully we'll see you in August.
Mike
