Default Irene Damage

At home, Pembroke NH, we had a large tree snap in half. Not sure how it didn't take down the power lines from the street to the house, but it didn't. We lost power for about 8 hours. We have been doing yard cleanup all week.

At the lake, Laconia, we also had a neighbors tree snap in half. The problem is it is now hung up on our power lines, which run up to the cottage beside our driveway. Sue called it in to PSNH, but because we still had power we are low on their list. It is a little unnerving as you have to drive under the tree to get up the driveway.

We will be heading up to Laconia this evening. Hopefully we will find that PSNH has taken care of the tree, especially because we have company coming this weekend.

I would do nothing different as we took in all of our outside furniture at both places and put anything that could be blown around away. Our boat is at Lakeport Landing in their boathouse, so well protected.

I feel fortunate !!
