[Lowfer] 185.3

[Bill Ashlock]

JA,

Yes, the power has been out in Ellsworth for over 24 hrs and my signals from 
up there are still off as of 9:00 am. WM Andover turned off so that I can 
determine when the power is restored. I have only electric heat in the cabin 
so I tried to leave about noon yesterday to come home but found one large 
tree was blocking the road. Incredible number of trees resting on the 5 
miles of power lines along Ellsworth Hill Rd. Took until 5:00 for the 
electric crew to arrive and remove it. The whole area has similar problems 
so that was the reason for the delay. Will likely be returning when it does 
because I am monitoring a friends basement (actually an Inn) who is in 
Florida for the winter and the water level is high - but need electric power 
for the sump pump. (And here I was shopping for a portable generator on 
Saturday but elected not to buy :)

When I arrived in Andover I found similar problems with the wind. In fact 
the power had just been restored. A large tree is resting on the roof of a 
neighbor's house!

How did your area in Maine make out? - Or in fact Holden, MA? At least 
there's power for TAG.

Bill
