We'll be asking Easton Patch readers a different question every weekday. Questions could range from local decisions made by officials, to state issues, to national politics and entertainment. Whatever it is, we want to know what EASTON thinks!
The storm has passed but there is still a considerable amount of damage. Yesterday, Easton Police Chief Allen Krajcik told Patch that it could be nearly a week until National Grid is able to restore power for the entire town. Thousands, however, did have power restored last night and this morning.
In addition to the outages, many roads have been closed and debris has covered the lawns of many residents.
Was this storm as bad as you thought it would be? What are your thoughts on the destruction and aftermath?

Overall, I think the aftermath appears to be in line with predictions. I've heard some news commentary that it wasn't as bad as they expected, but they seem to be focused on what happened in Boston and to some extent NYC. They need to watch their own newscasts... The number of people without power, with property damage, flooding, etc.... The predictions for New England as a whole seem to match the aftermath.
