Subject: RE: Hurricane
Well, the worst we got was leaves & small branches down & an inch of water downstairs. There is a lot of local flooding & road erosion, though, & all the schools in the area are closed today. My town & the next one over declared a state of emergency & smart folks are staying off the roads. Many people are without electricity. We were among the lucky. Duane had a terrible time getting home last night. Many roadways were covered in deep water & were impassable. He had to try several routes before he found a passable way home. Now, I need to check w/ my sister in Maine.

best,
