We lost power many times in Northwood, NH. Finally bought a generator, and haven't had to use it since we moved to FL.
Sandy passed by here 200 miles off the coast. Mucho rain !
Keep your galoshes handy you guys.

I'd be surprised if you didn't lose power. FPL (Florida Power and Light) and other energy companies have contingency plans in place for hurricanes being that we tend to get hit with more of them than other states (though we have been lucky in recent years) and we still lose power if a hurricane goes over Catagory 1 status. Good luck to all you guys up north. Keep your heads down.
So far nothing more than strong breezes and light rain in southern NH, away from the coast. The problem is, as with last year's storm, all the trees still have most of their leaves. Fingers crossed that we don't lose power. They seem to have changed the grid or something in recent years where outages that used to last a few hours now take days to resolve, even though all they need to do is send somebody to the neighborhood to make sure there aren't tree branches on the wires and flip the switch back on. Last year it was beyond frustrating in our town that all the commercial areas were back on in 12 hours (including on the next block), yet it took 5 days to get to some neighborhoods where there was no visible damage to wires, including mine.

Yeah, that's a standard problem down here as well. The reason they concentrate on the commerial areas is because commercial accounts pay more for their service as compared to residential accounts. They'll also be back up and running first because many of those entities supply goods that post-hurricane stricken areas require. Be happy you weren't in south Florida for Frances and Jeanne. It took almost two weeks for my area to have power restored. And this was in the dead of summer.

I hear ya. The dead of summer can be just as deadly in FL as the dead of winter in NH.

I have a new found respect if you survived two weeks during that heat. We were in Orlando at the end of July and the sun and humidity was absolutely insane...it was crazy. I can deal with the heat and the extreme cold back here, but I have to say that took things to a whole new level. I can't imagine having to get through it without air conditioning.

I think I need to leave NH. I'ts becoming dangerous. An Earthquake and a hurricane in the same month!?! I need to take my family somewhere safe like a trailer park in Oklahoma.The apocolypse is upon us!

That happened to us too. It's ridiculous, especially when the adjacent street didn't lose it and we couldn't see any trees or anything down anywhere near here.
