We faired pretty good in Isabel and only lost power for a few days. The only damage we had was 18 trees fell in the yard with no other damage. It was those Bradford Peer trees (spelling) which cannot with stand any wind after they get over 10 or so years old. We had around 36 of them and over half of them fell. I had never really used a chainsaw before this but after cutting them all up I'm now a seasoned pro. My brother in law had a business which sold welding equipment and generators so he hooked me up with a generator. It was the kind that you towed behind a truck and ran off propain and you could hardly tell it was running. I had both of my neighbors hooked up to it so I didn't have to listen to all that noise. I was talking to a guy last night who is just moving back into his house this week from that storm.
