Power is back!\u00a0 We were very lucky.\u00a0 Other towns were hit so much worse.\u00a0 The FEMA distribution stations are busy, lines at fuel stations long.\u00a0 We pulled apart the fuel filler to the pickup truck to defeat the anti-siphon grid and get fuel out to power the generator.<\/p>\n
Here are my videos of during and after (Warning: they are quite boring to start!\u00a0 But that’s how it was; very quiet until the late evening and then again not much damage around our house until we walked into town) <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CL6bdv_Kxuw&feature=plcp<\/a> http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XJ-JV4HbjIQ&feature=context-cha<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n And here is some NOAA imagery.\u00a0 The first photo is from Keyport.\u00a0 You can see the boats all smooched into one corner of Pedersen’s yard and the two boats suspended from the bridge. Further down are some more dramatic images of the way the water carved new channels through existing suburbs.<\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/news\/weeklynews\/nov12\/ngs-sandy-imagery.html<\/a><\/p>\n
