Surprise storm of 2011
An unusual October storm dropped a foot of heavy, wet snow on trees that had not yet dropped their leaves.
Our beautiful Magnolia might not ever be the same. Baila was devastated, as she had always imagined herself getting married under it:
A big tree came down in the rear parking lot:
We lost power on Saturday afternoon, and didn’t have it back until Wednesday evening, over 100 hours later. The Yamaha 2400iS generator we purchased last summer to run the RV’s A/C worked well for us. I had wired a transfer switch into the house years ago, so all we had to do was flip the switch and fire up the generator. We went through about 12 gallons of gas.
It was amazing how dark it was at night, and we now have a much better appreciation of what it means to have electrical service!
Hopefully this won’t happen again any time soon.
