So, how's everyone handling the power outage?

Thornton: Out at 9pm last night. Back on at 6pm today.

Blessing and thanks to the repair crews.

1. Seacoast, off at 11pm, on at 2pm

And very grateful. I thought it would be a week with the damage around here.

2. We didn't have much damage, just small branches and junk blown down.

NHEC is saying total power may not be back until Monday. Crews are here from VT and MA. Must be one hellva mess.

3. Similar in Barnstead

But we are very close to the main power line. Whole roads blocked off on the way into Concord

4. Route 3 was washed out in several places between Campton and Lincoln.

It must have been The Day After Tomorrow in the Franconia Notch.

8. Hello fellow Barnstead person!!!

Are you in or near the colony? It is rather isolated here. I am looking to network with other progressives in the area.

5. Lynch and Gatsas are handling it well (NOT)

The governor is on a beach in St. Martin, the mayor is sipping umbrella drinks in Aruba.

Now that's what I call leadership.

By the way, both are multimillionaires who could easily catch an early flight home and head back to finish the vacation in a few days.

6. SoxFan, enduring a mega nor'easterly is for the little people only. n/t

7. Is there anything they need to be there in person for?

Or can they do it by phone/computer, with less environmental impact, and fewer people required to trail behind them? I think the last thing N.H. needs is a motor convoy roaming around, getting in the way of work, soaking up state resources (money and people) and just generally being a pain in the ass.

Now, if they were both linemen, and needed to help work the repair, that would be another story...
