Don't know if that will deflect them, but at least it don't start them.

Hi everybody.
We got power on this morning at a quarter after Midnight. Only 30 hours with no power. Lost all our refrigerated and frozen food except for the liquor and some frozen chicken. Been eating out the past few days.
Our friends who were supposed to evacuate us run a hair salon. Between ditzy broads who were waiting until the last minute to get their hair did and the storm arriving far earlier than predicted, it was a miracle they were able to get home at all, forget about driving to the coast to pick us up.  Stupid broad. They were almost in an accident on the way home. A street lamp fell in front of them on I-95 but they were able to swerve. The two cars in front of them couldn't. They still don't have power, so if their power isn't on by the time they get home, they're gonna come stay with me. (Bunnygrrl is in Chi-town for a wedding).
We got lucky. At the last minute, the storm turned South, though the second highest wind gusts, 92 mph, were recorded in our neighborhood. All in all, the storm was pretty wussy. I took a walk just before the height of the storm. Denny's, five blocks away, stayed open through the whole storm. Our neighbors lost some windows, and some retrograde busted our other neighbor's car window, but got chased away.
Yesterday, I helped an old lady clear her yard of debris and was nearly adopted by a homeless baby squirrel.  It was very cute and very scared and crawled up on my fott and grabbed my pants. I wish I could have taken it home, but I have cats. I'm still pretty sad about this.
Most off the cell towers are out and I've seen some impressive damage. I have pics and when they are developed I will upload them for you.
Our cable is still out, so no internet. I'm at the library.
Mostly people have been pretty cool, but there are always some *******s, *****ing about the lack of service at Wendy's, for example, when they are understaffed and overwhelmed. Public transportation is still out. It was fun talking to people in line for food. Discovered a new place around the corner from where we live that serves Chicago-style hot dogs (Vienna Beef "dragged through the garden").
Can't stop thinking about that baby squirrel.
