Isabel - Not Too Bad Here * Sep 19, 2003
Not too bad here -- small branches, twigs, leaves, blossoms everywhere, ripped off of the plants and trees. I don't see any large branches down near us. The storm did lift some siding -- just above our heads, and we slept through it!
Of course, there was more damage elsewhere, and lives lost. Lots of flooding, trees down, and power outages in the area, and much worse in other parts of Virginia and in North Carolina. We are told not to drink or cook with the tap water -- the water plants in our county were apparently without power and water supply is critically low and perhaps contaminated. Luckily, we'd put a fair amount into filtered pitchers and bottles just before the storm.
