I went down on Tuesday to see how everything fared after the windy/thundery/rainy storm we had last week. The Connecticut River crested at 19 feet, meaning Rte 17A was very under water and closed and there was about 5 feet of water in the Hartford Riverfront Boathouse! (all's fine today).
At the house, there were a few more pine branches down and lots of twigs, but other than that all was fine. Sad again to see the big maple branch down, it looks much messier without snow. The branches on the ground reach all the way to the rhododendrons towards the field.
All is fine inside. The power went out at some point, but not for very long, I didn't have to change the light timers, just the stove and bedroom clocks. No messages of interest on the phone. I checked and the hot water heater IS off, oil level is just above 1/2.

Can you tell the difference? The brook is still high and burbling away.
