I arrived at my cottage in Sebago, Maine, on Monday afternoon, having hunkered down with relatives in Woodstock NY on Sunday. No damage at my place, but also no power when I arrived, and none until this evening about 6 pm. It was kind of an adventure at first, but got old really fast -- no running water, no lights, no refrigeration. Just an inconvenience, of course -- nothing compared to the devastation elsewhere.

Tami, I wondered if you'd get roped into the cleanup at Sebago Lake State Park -- which is VERY close to my cottage. No trees down on my property, but lots of branches all over everything -- I've almost finished cleaning it up. I now have several years' worth of kindling.

I am not looking forward to Katia...
