I lost power for about 6 hours here and decided to go out to dinner in the peak of the storm. They had power in OB so I went down and had a few beers and some Mex food. I went back to get my truck which was parked in an open spot facing the open water (NE) and the wind was ripping, as I was walking to the car a gust came thru and stopped me in my tracks and I had to get down on one knee at one point...honest it was >70mph head on, the howl was awesome, I could not open my eyes...it let up a little and I made my way to the truck. But I was really struggling to get the door open. The wind was blowin out here man! It changed to rain latter in the night and our accumulation was 7 or 8" of soggy wet slush. The next day the roads were fine.

I wonder if any scallop boats were out there off Nantucket?...you always read about those guys how fish thru these things.
