The one I was watching normally gets the most breeze, but it had the least water. At 10:30 I was worn out and chilled. I rolled hand towels into the track, bath towels onto the sill, and an old cotton bathmat from grandma on the floor underneath and went to bed. Roomie hung in there til 1:30 and Rob kept going on his own.<br /><br />Emy - amen to that! I was very glad to learn you made it through in good shape. Can the chimes be salvaged or replicated by an artist? <br /><br />Note - Isabel helped by taking out weak trees and pointing out problems with the electric grid. It would have been much worse if this had been pre-Isabel.Casandra Shilovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547045511644749729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831736675609259548.post-7625017758825824312009-11-16T06:44:52.219-05:002009-11-16T06:44:52.219-05:00When I read your post last night, I was amazed how...When I read your post last night, I was amazed how much difference living 20 minutes away can make. My cherished Woodstock wind chimes were totally destroyed by the high winds and we had standing water and tree limbs scattered all over the grounds, but I had no leaks and managed to recover all the tubes for the wind chimes. And I was fortunate enough not to lose electricity this time. But I remember Isabel and am also grateful that it was not that bad. I wasn't looking forward to a week without electricty...Emyly Beaumonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883089817313476822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831736675609259548.post-4225763129214772402009-11-16T02:57:36.142-05:002009-11-16T02:57:36.142-05:00Wow, glad you guys are safe and your home was hard...Wow, glad you guys are safe and your home was hardly damaged. When you described how you and Rob kept mopping up the seepage from the windows, I could imagine you both tirelessly doing it... glad you finally managed to get some rest, welcome back to the Interwebs! ;)Quaintly Tuqirihttp://quirkyquaintly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831736675609259548.post-25237771817379202322009-11-15T23:19:26.129-05:002009-11-15T23:19:26.129-05:00Oh my goodness!!
