Bad storms in eastern NY.[not a good week]

[s1120]

On Monday night, my little corner of the world had some REAL bad storms. They say there were tornados, but last I knew they have not confirmed that yet. Power was out from 8:30 Monday night, till 1:30am on Wednesday morning. It has not been a good couple days. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif My new house made out OK. No damage to the house, but I did louse a lot of trees.

The whole Niverville NY area was like a war zone. Trees everywhere, power poles snapped, etc. A CSX train had derailed right next to my house. They have been working on the tracks for the last two days.

here in NW pa. we had some severe storms monday that took power out to a few towns has been out since then, had office today and saw 5 people that were without electricity since mon. since i have a generator i have no need to worry that the power would go out. i have outage proofed the whole neighborhood. just the mere presence of a generator has prevented power outages on my road since the generator was purchased. funny how things work that way.

water has flooded basements, i wish we could send some to those poor devils fighting the western forest fires. we have had torrential rains for the past several weeks, the ground is saturated and the rains keep coming. i also have a pump so i have flood proofed the neighborhood also. had some utility poles snap off and a few trees down in town, but no need to do any work with the chainsaw or tractor on my property. since i have the chainsaw and the tractor i have again avoided disaster.

Hang in there s1120. It's all just paint and metal and can be fixed. Be glad there were no people in it, right? Still doesn't make you feel any better does it. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I feel your pain. I'm an old car nut too, and it really hurts to see a nice old car meet it's demise. From looking at the picture, the tree limbs don't look real big. You might be pleasantly surprised when you get everything off of it. I wish you the very best, and it's little consolation, but at least you weren't sitting in it when it happened.

Good Luck /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well, the top is gone, that I know. But that is not a big deal. I needed a new top, and I have anouther frame work for the top. The hood is pushed down anout three inches, and the left side head lights assambly are leaning back. Thats not good. I am thinking the grill, hood, radator suport, and headlight assambly are tost.I just hope the windsheld is good. I just fond out I am out of luck for insurance, so I guess I just have to get to work............. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

We've had three days in a row of thunder storms, but very little wind, so I guess we're pretty lucky. Funny how these things work, you're only about an hour from us.

I did hear on the radio that they confirmed that there were two tornados, one in Columbia County, and I think the other was in Greene County.

Boy Paul you must of got all the storm. Over here in my part of Vt. we got only rain! I was just complaining to my wife about there's so much rain that I can't mow the lawn!! After your pictures I think I'm done complaining! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Take care and good luck.
