Would love a roll call for all Passporter in the path About This Page:

We did fine here. We are just north of Dulles International. Down the road a few miles, some had no power until very early Sat morning. This morning on the news they were down to about 300,000 without power. They were well over a 1,000,000 without power here. I know some areas are still under water or just got out. The rain from up river is suppose to hit today. So some are not alloowed home yet until after today's high tide. Then hopefully soon they will be able to start thier clean up.

It's good to see more people reporting in - we haven't heard from Hidden Mickey in the hosts forum yet - I'm asumming she must be without power or dealing with a clean up like the rest of us. Continued prayers to all affected.

Good morning. We fled Chesapeake, VA (next to Norfolk & VA Beach) on Wednesday afternoon for Frederick, MD. We had already been through storm damage from trees during Hurricane/T.S. Bonnie in '98 and weren't taking any chances. We were in the path of Isabel in Frederick, but the wind/rain was much milder than at our home, and we didn't lose electricity.

We came home yesterday afternoon and it looks like a war zone. There are branches and trees down everywhere, and power is still out for about 50% of the folks in the Tidewater area. School is out today as well for all of the local cities.

I had to pitch almost the entire contents on my refrigerator. My 4 year old was clammering to get something out of it to eat so it was #1 priority when we got home.

We have a lot of clean up to do in the yard, and the only damage was the loss of food, and some damage to our fence. Many were not as lucky. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Feeling very thankful in Chesapeake, VA...

Ok here, got power back on sat night. Lots of trees down in my area. My grandmother did not get power back till this morning. Got out of work though on friday and saturday though. Nobody had power for my whole area. Some people in my area won't have power until tomorrow night. Lots of poles down. They have to put up new ones.

Thanks I'm glad too see all of you have faired well in the mess. I will contiue my prayers for the others and all I don't know who have lost in this Hurricane.

We just got power back here in Chesapeake Beach too! Lost our beach due to erosion and a few trees, but hardly any damage to any homes. Thank God for power.

Hey....Just saw this thread. I checked in on my forum on Friday morning, but was SO busy this weekend, never got back online. Thank YOU ALL SO MUCH for worrying about me! We came through the storm with minor trouble. We'd already lost so many trees in the December Ice Storm that we didn't have much left to worry about....but our yard was a MESS of little pieces of trees and the kids and I had to clean it up ourselves since DH had to go his parents house in Plymouth NC (about 1 hr from the Outer Banks) where they had A LOT of damage. All Saturday morning was spent at kid's soccer games.

In between all this, we've been painting our whole kitchen (two coats of trim paint and the ceiling are done) with only the wall color left to go before the flooring guys come tomorrow. So it's been crazy around our house. We are slowly learning how to live without a kitchen and out of boxes, but it is really a pain and we'll be glad when we are done (hopefully next Wednesday).

[img]graemlins/wavin.gif[/img] Suzie glad you guys are ok. We have friends in your area that lost power for awhile so I wondered as you hadn't posted in a few days.

Good luck with the kitchen!
