Well what a weekend we had! One that will get us ready for this nasty winter we are supposed to be having! Friday night, in the wee bedtime hours.. the heavy wind storm caused havoc on our little island paradise. We all woke to an island with no power. Various power grids all around were hit. Our good neighbours had the misfortune of a large hemlock come down mid-way from their driveway. As you can see by clicking on the collage above, it took out their power lines, came right out the road and took out some more lines across the way. We were without power until just after lunch on Sunday. We are lucky to have a toasty wood burning stove, and a gas oven/range so we can cook and stay warm. Our well is on an electric pump but fortunately we had enough in the reserve up the hill that gravity kept it coming in, albeit, no pressure. They are predicting more winds for tonight and very cool temperatures in the area of -16c wind chill for tomorrow. Brrrrr, and it isn't even winter yet!
