Well, the hurricane's gone... Isabel's left us. So, how did things go? Ummm... not too badly.
Power went off around 6:45 on Thursday night. When I got to work the next morning (before an 8 am emergency Response Team meeting -- 8 am? UGH!!), the power was back on, but the water was off. But at 9:30 the same morning, the electricity went off... and it has stayed off. But the phones worked.... for a few more hours.
Well, as of 7:30 Saturday night, still no electricity. But the water is back on there! They're saying that the electricity should be on by morning... we'll just have to see, huh?
At home? Power came back on at 9:50 Friday night. Water was restored sometime earlier in the day.
This has been a wierd storm with electricity being out, because while our power was out, there were people with lights on LESS than a mile away. And at work, Foxchase still has power... again less than a mile away from work!
Got lucky, though... while putting stuff back out on my balcony, I notice that a huge branch had broken off and hit the balcony over and down a floor. The only damage was a bent balcony railing, but that's DAMN close!
As soon as electricity's restored at work, things should be tons better! But, I'll still have to work, and enter an order, and get things back to normal.
