Leominster: "Halloween" Nor'Easter 2011: Nearby Destruction AS IT HAPPENS, and Aftermath

[QuietSundayLibrary]

I've seen the destruction and inconvenience that these storms have brought to the denizens of the Northeast, and I assure you that you'll continue to remain ensconced in my thoughts and prayers. Brutal, brutal weather.

Fortunately, outside of cleanup, it was all over when I posted this. I was very late, due to 4 days of no power.

At least I'm safe in Florida, but other people had to seek emergency shelters.

You have those HUGE hurricanes. We get hurricanes as well, but they're usually minimal, or Cat 2's. The Hurricane of 1938 was a rare 3.

Ultimately... my neighbors (street behind me) and all surrounding streets have lost power for 5 days and counting, BUT all I lost is... TV/Internet/Phone for 2 days.

Lucky you. :) I actually had a working internet connection, but the modem uses electricity, with killed that.

@georgef551 I had to go to Methuen to use internet.

did you catch the lightning in Worcester? (or however it's spelled)

[georgef551]

@ElevatorsandAlarms

Was it lightning? It's very poissible that there could've been a thundersnow, as it was forcasted. People thought it was the same here, but red, orange, blue, green isn't lightning.

[ElevatorsandAlarms]

@georgef551 It was a thundersnow. the lightning struck between 7-7:30 or 9-10.

@ElevatorsandAlarms

I believe it.
