This is a shot of our Miata.  I just moved it outside two days before the storm.  I parked it partially under a Sassafras tree.  Evidently this type of tree has very weak limbs.  The tree limbs in the foreground were on the front of the car.  I have some dents to fix but I do not think any of the glass is broken.

I saw your name last night one time that I was checkin this site. I think it was a good idea you decided to wait some so you didn't get power surged. No school buses this morning? Glad you're OK. GPster

I did not run the generator at night while were sleeping.  It is a 5600 watt and it used about 5 gallon a day.  It has a digital readout and most of the time it was about 10% of its capacity.  I found out that things like a toaster, microwave oven and a portable electric heater take a lot of power to run.  To run the 3 HP well pump took about 50% of capacity.

We may not have school this whole week.  We usually have some snow days each school year but nothing like this.
