Getting back to normal (sort of)
Lost power Thursday evening at 5:40 PM EDT, and lived by flashlight and candle-light that evening as Isabel blew through the area. Friday, I surveyed the neighborhood and saw some trees down or split and some relatively minor (at least from a distance) damage.

Friday evening, I went to stay with family near Philadelphia. They had power, though some in that region were not so lucky. Returned home this evening. The neighbors tell me power returned only earlier today, around 1 PM. Getting back to routine at home, although a local supermarket was only partly stocked and dimly lit, and some local traffic lights are still not functioning normally. It may take a few more days before this thing is really behind us.
