Lee was hammered. According to NHEC, 100% is out. We lost power around 7 am and while they were slowly restoring it, a squall with 70 mph winds came through and knocked it all back out. Good times. Whoever installed the generator hookup before I bought my house put the plug where a coffee maker would logically go on one of the few circuits that the generator powers. This person is a life saver.

I live in Lee and am the only idiot on my drive without a generator. 27 hours offline so far. Everyone here in town has a well so that's a lot of deciding when to flush a toilet. It's good to suffer every now and then to remember how good we have it here though

That is some serious optimism.

A lesson from those of us who once lived in areas with hurricanes, next time fill the tub with water and use that water to flush the toilets. Great news on the loan of the generator by sonoftelfon works great and hope your power gets restored soon!

Haha so I filled the tub with water out before our first storm here in Lee

I woke up to an empty tub and a burned out boiler motor. Tub drained on it all night.

/u/sonogteflon seems like a saint, I agree

It’s wild how localized this is. I’m a few miles from you in Newmarket and we never lost it once! It flickered for a little while last night but that was all. Very grateful for this. Stay warm!

Headed to a holiday gathering in Lee later today. A generator powdered one!

If your route takes you down Wednesday Hill road on the Mast Way end... Find a way around. Trees down and the police say it's closed indefinitely.

Wow! This reminds me of that big rain storm back in 2007 that left me stranded at home (I lived in Nottingham at the time) because the road was flooded in two directions and a bridge washed out in the third direction.

We'll be on Lee Hook Road today, so hopefully we'll be good.
