How'd ya like that storm?

I just got power back, so naturally this is my first order of business
How did you all do with the storm, it had a tour of destruction across the country?

Here are some photos.
No net snow here (but 36" at the mountain!!!!)
enjoy

If you care:
Picture 1 is the golf course I live by.
Picture 2 is a common scene here in maine right now, a totally uprooted tree
Picture 3 is the other part of the golf course, with a bunch of formally open fields/pasture. OUCH. turn around and go other way
Pictures 4,5, and 6 were taken from a neighborhod bordered by Casco Bay and the river on either side. The swells in the bay are rare, let alone those covering the bridge
Pictures 6 and 7 were in a more wooded, protected section of the coast. They still don't have power.
Picture 8 is my flooded backyard thanks to my idiot neighbor clearcutting and filling in up to the stream (now further back/in my yard) with no warning or thinking about the environment/our yard/being a decent neigbor

Well, enjoy the somewhat depressing photos, and lets hear your survival stories

And Fairfax Co. (VA) closed early Monday for that same reason. Wierd!

Man, I despise the weather around here. I really wish I could move south. Chapel Hill, NC was like, 70F and sunny this afternoon

Crazy pics, crazy weather.

Even here in NC we had cars flipped over and roof tops ripped off. A friend of mine works up in the Bank of America tower here and the wind blew out his office mate's floor-to-ceiling windows. Said it was just like a bomb.
