The short version is that everyone is OK, we all have power and phones and damage was remarkably light considering how powerful the storm was. I’d say the house lost maybe 10 shingles total and Julia’s place didn’t have any damage whatsoever (some of her old neighbours weren’t so lucky with gutters and siding peeled off and strewn about).
Things like this make you really thankful for the modern conveniences like electric lights and air conditioning. Compared to people north and east of the eye, we got off quite light all things considered.
What’s left of Isabel is now in Ontario and that’s perfectly fine by us…yesterday was more than exciting!
In other news, I apologise for the out-of-order journal entries…it’s been busy enough here that it was a minor miracle to get the pictures up to the web site. All of the entries are in place and will remain for a while before being archived at the end of the month.
