Carp Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I was just thinking the same thing Brian. I'm leaving this Sunday for a week of deer hunting. Hope everything passes before the hunt and doesn't return until afterwards. Last couple of years we've been lucky as the weather was great all week long during the deer hunt. What are the chances we can make it 3 years in a row ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjsa Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I was at work until almost 9 pm. When I got home, discovered I had been without power for 8 hr. 40 min. Outlying buildings of our University were without power since around noon. Trees down, along with power lines. Rain, and heavy winds still forecasted for tomorrow, time will tell. Had to reset a couple of AC clocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
