Finally got my power and cable back. Not a lot of damage here. Some branches down, no flooding (thank The Lord) and just a little wind damage. People up in the Catskills fared much worse. The Schoharie Creek was so high that it washed away 30+ homes...gone completely. This is a creek that I used to fish as a kid and was able to cast a small Mepps spinner across (sorry....I was kid). The towns of Prattsville, Windham, Hunter and any more are under water because of this. Prayers go out to all affected. i consider myself to be very lucky this tie around. The weather guru claims that tropical depression 12 could turn out to be another Irene, possibly affecting the east coast in 10 days or so. Again, prayers for all people affected by this.
