Hurricane Isabel

This maybe the wrong forum, if so I apologise.

Has the effects of the hurricane had any impact (sorry) on dopers?

I have to drag a 20’ branch off my fence and chainsaw it to pieces.

Will spend a fair amount of time picking up smaller branches and bunches of leaves from pool.

Will help several neighbors with their uprooted red maples. Dunno why, but red maples seemed very proned to uprooting. Hope they can be saved.

Number of coworkers have flooded basements or no power for 18 hours and counting.
