Here in RI, I didn't lose power. But with the strong winds my grill cover blew off of the grill and I found it in the yard. The same with my patio cushions and pillows...time to bring those indoors, I suppose. In past years, we've had downed trees, completely uprooted and falling across the sidewalk or road. Another time a tree in our side yard nicked the roof and lattice of our neighbor, and missed their sunroom by an inch.
Yesterday I went to MA, where I do most of my grocery shopping. Many stores closed (without power) and street lights were out only about five miles or so from me. One store (they were open) but could only buy dry goods as coolers/freezers were out. The same store has been without power before and no cash registers were working, during a previous storm.
I love peanut butter! Have been adding it to oatmeal, along with vanilla whey protein powder...so good! But, yeah....you need power for that!
Boston is only an hour drive for me, and I heard from a number of folks (MA residents) that were without power. National Grid is going to be busy.
