Default Hurricane Irene: ECS Update

We do hope everyone made it safe and sound throughout this storm!

We have downed power lines few doors down from the shop across route 539. So, our power is out.

I took a quick ride down to the shop earlier. I am happy to report no visual damage of the shop or any clients vehicles. Few of us left carlisle early yesterday to make preparations.

We will keep everyone updated as to when power is operational and we are back to normalcy!

Thanks
Matt

When I spoke to Tommy the day before the sheit hit the fan, he was a little nervous about evacs in the area.

Thats great to hear...I hope all of you make it make safe.

I was actually trying to drive down to the shop to see how things were today. For me every road leading to was blocked for some sort of flooding or debris

Hey thanks guys! Everything made it alright. The Ecs rig rolled back into town last night. Few of us left earlier to secure outside objects, cars, etc. Really no debris at Ecs.

My personal house is on same line as Ecs so ill know right away when Ecs is back in action. Had to do some massive cleanups at home but the generator is pumping.

Thanks and stay tunedn!

Simpleman: Tommy made it fine. As did everyone else on our Ecs staff!

We just got our phone lines back !!! Restoration is going to take a while.. The return to normalcy will take days. We are quite lucky versus a lot of our other friends & colleagues.

He's still somewhat alive yet. I heard he got married in St. Thomas and it caused a hurricane.

Hey lets all get together at the cruise Saturday night at Northampton Crossings.
6-9pm

Oh no. What did Chris do all day with no internet to play on?

Glad to hear everyone made it back safe. Though tell Mikey to buy some new tires.
