we indeed did lose power on Tuesday evening. Just shortly after 8p.m. and it was out til Friday just before 7p.m. Thanks to a really great friend(and co-worker) we managed to keep the basement from flooding via the sump pump. This friend managed to locate a backup sump pump and battery and just as it was nearing completion of installation(if it worked that is) we went to go eat dinner(and warm up) and when we came back the street lights were on on the street we drive down to get to my street, and street lights were on on ours too. We had power! and it was the most welcome sight in the world. What we have left is cleanup. Lot's of tree carnage(as we're calling it) and according to another friend, our street looked like the worse hit in this town. Didn't get cable/internet access back til this morning.. and I missed this place.. and my friends. Glad to be back. Kate
