I'm sorry missperky, it's just unbelievable with the amount of trees going down and it's only the fire departments. And they too can only do so much. I'm not trying to tick off anyone, it's the same crap every storm.

Right. But I thought you were referring to St Marys, but yeah that does suck.

I knew you meant Calvert. I'm listening to it too and the fire departments are doing it all, I haven't heard anything about them contacting state highways for any help. And yes, I would leave the comfort of my home and go help but I don't think it would be appropriate to leave a small child at home especially with this going on. My hubby is already out helping.

Yea trust me I understand, and the last storm when a tree went down, my son had the pleasure guarding fricken live wires for almost 5 hours until Smeco got on the scene. I took them food and drinks.

Think he's a little too busy to take pictures, it's a nightmare out there.
