Hi Family, It looks like the rain has stopped for a while. The wind blew very hard, at times sounding like a very large freight train coming through the yard. I guess we got 5" of rain and it is combining with the snow melt to make the rivers overflow, ponds to get very hight and Goosefare Brook became a very large lake. Trees were down all over. A few trees were on one house along seaside and there were quite a few trees that just tipped over because the water was deep around the base and the top weight was heavier that what the roots could hold. Waves were coming in at about 12 - possiby 20 feet. They were really huge out beyond the islands. A lot of power outages and we have been without phone service. We do have power though. I have to down load the pictures and I will send some out.
Poor Oreo was scared of the noise. He sat next to the bed and panted like crazy. We felt really sorry for him. He just can't stand strange noises. Well, guess I will sign off for now.
Love you all,
Mom & Dad, grandma & grandpa, and great-grandma & great-grandpa
