Thread Name: BS: New Englanders OK after ice storm?
Subject: RE: BS: New Englanders OK after ice storm?
I live in NW CT and awoke to just a dusting of snow here, but about 15 miles away is Torrington. News reports have it as being among the hardest hit, lots of trees down, roads blocked and schools closed.At one point they were reporting that there were 50 houses WITH power. You know things are pretty bad when they report those with rather than those w/o. Seems like the damage is pretty localized, no fatalities reported as of yet (knock on wood) But the wind is up today and the power company expects that a few people who havve had restored power migh lose it again. They do not expect all service back for another day and a half. SUposed to go down well below freezing tonight so it could be a real pain.
Still could be worse, remeber the ice storm in Quebec last year? (I think it was last year)
