The generator is fired and purring like kitten. The basics are operational. Frig, TV, Interweb, a few lights, the coffee maker and the hot water heater. I can fire the wood burner if it starts the get chilly. A quick accessment with a flash light tells me we got off light. A few small branches in the yard and a whole bunch of wet leaves plastered everywhere. It's still too dark to see the roof for shingle loss, but I think i'm okay. My guess is the neighborhood will have a lot of downed trees. Over all, not as bad as I expected.
The folks at the Jersey Shore got hammered, though. When the sun comes up I'm sure we'll all be seeing the damage on the tv. I think NYC and LI got hammered, as well. Reports are saying it could be 2 or more weeks before they get power restored up there!
