We got nailed. Trees and power lines down everywhere. Power, phone service and water out since Thursday night. Of the approx. 1.8 million power outages in VA about 2/3 are back up and running at this time. Unfortunately I'm in the remaining 1/3 with no power. We don't expect power for another week. The phone service came back on yesterday. I'm at work now which has power and it's good to get a rest. I've been cleaning up debris at home for the past three days and running around trying to find ice, gasoline and other necessities. Fortunately it's summer/fall and the weather is nice so we are treating it like a camping trip -cooking on the grill, getting water in jugs, etc. A giant Oak tree fell in the yard taking 4 others with it. Fortunately it missed the house and the PT, but what a mess to clean up.
