Isabel Interruption

Light Blogging because of no light. Actually, no power of any kind. If you looked at a map of Isabel’s path from the weather service that was widely reprinted, the dot for “Friday 2:00AM” was sitting on our house. We had “only” 60+ mph winds, and were personally very lucky. Although our house sits among a large number of large trees, many of which look pretty precarious, we were spared any damage — other than losing our power. It’s coming on sporadically around the area — Charlottesville still has pockets of no power — and we’ve just learned that our little area, about 12 miles west of C’ville, may not get power until next Wednesday. I’m at a public library now, and will return as I can, but blogging will of necessity be attenuated until our power returns.
