Fortunately, yours truly has his 7.5kva genny on hand so at least the Baggers' household has the basics: fridge, modem, microwave, computers, jug for a cuppa and the dog's heater is back on... along with a portable for Mrs Baggers in her office and me in mine! Fair bit of clean up around the place - trees damaged, roads blocked with downed trees and so on. It was a doozie!
It certainly was a wild night and I'm glad you came through it unscathed. Why am I not surprised that you're well-prepared?
We had two trees down over the only road out of our little estate but they were both removed by the time we had to head off to see Ms DJC's surgeon for her final post-op consultation.
I've got a bit of chainsawing to do when the weather eases up; branches partly blocking the driveway and a tree down over the front fence.
