Isn't bad enough that you got me? Now you want even more to come to paradise ;) ;) :orange:
Nice Chip! Well power went out earlier today and obviously my sump chit the bed with no power. So I feverishly hunted down a generator and when I got home the power was back. So the water spread was not to bad seeing that I had a bucket brigade to drain the sump pit. So all is well once again. I can't wait to get in the wind for its therapeutic qualities for me. Later,Q
Chip, John and Brian in the same state :nervous:
Chip you sure this state is big enough for the three of us :nixweiss:
I have a great idea.....John move to NC.....Chip moves to SC with AJ :huepfenlol2:
Man I love this place :2vrolijk_21:
Well, the weather really did suck here on the Maine coast at the beginning of the week and I thought I would share a few pics. We evacuated, but came back early, because it was driving us crazy. I have a new appreciation for those that leave their homes, possessions, memories behind and wonder if they are still there. It looked like a war zone, alot of old growth trees over on houses and power lines. Even reached back into Vermont, which is unusual for a Noreaster, Rutland was under a state of emergency because of all the downed trees. The winds here gusted at 70 mph, cant imagine what higher hurricane force winds would do. Yeah, i can imagine, there would be nothing left.Wow!!! Sorry to see that, that is really sad. :( Glad you were lucky enough not to have to deal with that devastation.
Usually after a Norester or a remnant of a hurricane that makes it this far north, you will find lobster traps on the beach--maybe one, maybe 3 lobster traps to be found. There were dozens upon dozens everywhere. Those poor guys who had their traps out lost all of them Im sure. The waves in the background are 6-8 feet, down from 31 feet max. Now, thats some power.
The area where the houses are destroyed, about a mile down from me, place called Camp Ellis. They always get flooded out, but this one was bad. 7 houses destroyed and one VW jetta out to sea. There used to be a street in front of those houses, now its beach. The destroyed white house, that was an older gentlemen's house, his grandfather built that house, hes priced out of the market now and will move inland.
My little neighborhood here in Saco came out of this one okay, basically water damage. They called this a 30 year storm, so Im good for another 30.
