The first one was last 2 Mondays ago. The wind was howling! We lost power that time for about 24 hours. Some pictures from our neighborhood the morning after:
The second one came through this last Monday. This time power was out for 48 hours and the temperatures were in the teens. After one night of sleeping in a freezing house we packed it up and spent the second night at my mom's, praying that our pipes wouldn't freeze and burst.
Here's a picture from the morning after that storm:
I didn't take as many photos although the damage was worse. Andrew couldn't even get out of our neighborhood on Tuesday due to all the downed trees in the roadway. Our poor neighbors across the street had a tree come down on their house. . . again. They had to replace their roof 2 years ago after a bad windstorm. We're still driving over downed power lines and dodging transformers on the road. We're very grateful to the power crews that are working day and night to restore power!
