Thanks for the concern Bill, in southern Maine the word is "lucky". We had scattared power outages but I think most here were expecting (and prepared for) much worse. The damage is progressivly more severe as you go south. I hope members check in on this thread on how they fared, news accounts tend to be focused on the extreme.
A memorable moment in my life was taking my grandson to see the launching of the Bounty (replica) after repairs in East Boothbay, Maine in 2007. Sad to see the loss of ship and life off No Carolina yesrerday.
