I lost my cable service and one of the two phone lines that I have. They made two trips to MA for generators and kerosene heaters. We were busy all day selling these necessities. They sold 34 generators and could have sold another 400-500 if we'd had them. We are still waiting for a truck that left Nebraska on Friday loaded with generators, and most of these are already sold.
People are in real dire straits.
Massena has been very fortunate. The damage has been far worse in other areas around us. The National Guard brought in helicopters and are combing the outlying areas looking for people in distress. They have been instructed via radio to put a big H on the ground if they need help. Others have been instructed to put plastic bags over their mailboxes so that patrols will know they are also in need.
