You know how you hear about how bad storm damage is and you imagine what it's like? It's much, much worse than that. Pics to follow.—@ndw

.@robinberjon We’re fine. No power and no water for a week probably. But showers at the emergency shelter and non-dangerous temperatures.—@ndw
@ndw Whoa, that sounds bad. Happy to hear that everything is otherwise fine!—@robinberjon

Using a cell phone for internet connectivity really brings out the love for those 50Mb attachments. Now, where's the option to skip those?—@ndw
@ndw you so need a generator... And a wifi hotspot. Worth every $.01 to keep the boiler and fridge going + a few power strips for toys.—@JeanKaplansky
@JeanKaplansky Yeah, I think a generator is in the cards.—@ndw

Hopes dashed. Still no power, but warm with friends.—@ndw
@ndw really feel for your power situation. Glad you have internet. When I lived in Felton I'd lose power about 1 week/year ...—@DALDEI

Boy, I’m tired of living in limbo. Day 8 without power. ETA: midnight tonight. Confidence: low. Mental state: distracted and unfocused.—@ndw
@ndw day 8!?! I feel for you. :(—@jasoncbooth
@ndw 8 days, that's awful. I sincerely hope you get power, quickly.—@shelleypowers
@shelleypowers Thanks. I’m optimistic that we’ll get power back today, but I’ve said that before. In the meantime, staying warm w/friends.—@ndw

Fun fact: at 47F, dishwashing detergent is a solid.—@ndw
@ndw 5 or 6 years ago we lost power in an ice storm for 5 days... I had no idea how "fast" they restored power, until now.—@dcm
@ndw Norm! You poor thing—@libbymiller

I am pleased to report: we have power! The furnace started. Normality will be restored tomorrow after we buy a fridge full of groceries!—@ndw
@ndw congrats!—@jojobickley
@ndw Congrats, glad to hear things are looking up for you :-)—@adamretter
@ndw Nothing like being able to sleep in your own home again—@shelleypowers
@shelleypowers That’ll have to wait until tomorrow, I’m afraid 47F won’t become comfortable in time for bed, but still, a delicious relief.—@ndw
@ndw 9 days! OMGface!—@davidpriest_ca
