The Press Asks: How did you survive Hurricane Irene?

Kate Squire (pictured with her daughter Emma), Oak Hill Road

“We were a little prepared. We expected to lose power. My husband and son played Monopoly all day. The power came back on right in time for supper.”
 

Fran Flynn, Green Hill Road

"We didn’t really prepare. I got gas for the generator. We lost power for about six hours. We didn’t go out ahead of time for groceries or anything"


Betty Ashe, Myrick Lane

“We didn’t lose power but my son who lives in Harvard did. He came over with his four children and his wife. They had dinner with us and spent the night. They still don’t have power today.”

Connie Woolcock, Walnut Street, Devens

"We just moved here two weeks ago so we weren’t prepared at all. We had all of our things from a 40-foot container delivered on Friday so we were very lucky it got emptied ahead of the storm. Our power went on and off all day and was only off long-term for an hour."
 

Wes Parlee, Bates Street, Devens

"We were between the rain and the wind. We didn’t lose power but were prepared if we did. I had the generator ready."

"“We lost power. We went to the North Shore Music Theatre and saw ‘Footloose.’ It was great!”

Mary Traphagen, Still River Road

"I was home with my four kids and one of their friends. I lost power for eight hours. Now we have a live wire hanging from our house and we can’t get National Grid to come out. We didn’t really prepare; we got a puppy!"
