It looked like everyting was in camaflage & you could not even see any asphalt in the street because of the tree limbs & leaves. I had no electric for 24 hrs., but many still don't have it back yet. I did not think to make coffee before the electric went off as I could have at least had cold coffee yesterday a.m. As I surveyed neighbors property who all had damage, the priority was "where can we get coffee". My sticking water bottles in the freezer worked & I did not lose any food. I still don't have cable & am trying to catch some of the news by watching local news on my computer.
