I was in Fredericksburg at the time.  Although it was only a tropical 
storm by the time it reached us, it was quite an experience to have the 
wind blow so hard for so long.  We lost power for 12 hours if I recall 
correctly.

Before the storm, I really couldn't think of a reason to get a 
generator.  Then I understood when everybody got concerned about their 
refrigerators.  If the outage had lasted only a few hours longer, we 
would have thrown away food.
