The News from C’ville: Oct. 20,2012

Hurricane Sandy was almost a non-event here at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. There was a so-so breeze and a good bit of rain but not quite the disaster that the forecasters had predicted. Things were a bit different in the higher elevations and Crozet – which sits at the very base of the mountains did experience some outages because of the wind but on the whole, Albemarle County just had some spot outages here & there; about what you might expect following a rain storm. On the whole, Sandy was a non-event here.
