Guest guest Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 And planning ahead - a wonderful thing. Our families with kids at home - hope y'll are planning things to keep the kids occupied without electrc, lots of snacky foods, no cook foods. Keep safe!!! My son in Chesapeake Beach, MD lost electric yesterday - they are saying it could be a week before they have any. But he suffered no water damage - lost a shutter and some flashing - hasn't checked the roof yet as it is still raining pretty hard. My MA kids are waiting landfall in about 3 hours, but gusts up sto 50 miles an hour - nothing to sniff at but bertter then 100 MPH sustained. Still have electric. B'kly family - no electric, rain is abating.
