Hurricane Sandy 3:30-7:30 pm
Just checked the UI site and for my city the number of outages have increased. I don’t know the pin point locations (I am thinking the beach areas). Neighbors except for one or two are staying. I mean on our street at least. The Chris couple is currently on a cruise to the tropics
Other city-wide friends and neighbors still seem to have the power.
Neighbor Don and I took a look at Oyster River and it is high but not as high as it could be and it looks like the water level is receding for now until the next high tide. Don just shared a surge map for the hurricane and I am not sure I understand it very much. It looks interesting.
My family is hunkering down in safety. As I mentioned Mom and I here and she is cooking and baking (making muffins). She is also talking to Brother Jim in PA. Liz and Nelson are at their house. Their kids are all at their homes settled in. Ethel is with friends here in Milford. Her children are fairly safe. Diane is in the City, Rob is Wallingford I think. I think he needs o be available for work though. John of course is Afghanistan.
I haven’t heard from a lot of my cousins except the Matawan branch, they lost power after 3. I am not sure about anyone else. I am just going to wait until they either post to Facebook or email them later.
I have received text messages from Emily and they are fine. They were worried about us. I sent them messages that we were fine and thanked them for worrying about us.
There are several videos on youtube.com for Milford videos. I recognized some of the areas even though I haven’t been on them in years.
Hey everyone I am still here and we still have power. I stepped away from the pc for a little while to watch TV, and to have dinner. The lights flickered in the house just a little bit ago but no serious problems. The governor has announced the UI will be de-energizing some of their substations. They said Bridgeport to Danbury/Waterbury. NO word about Milford. However, one of my classmates living in FL just posted his family doesn’t have power and they live in Woodmont. They live a mile away from us.
Mom and I are going to put out our flashlights and candles in case we lose power. IF we do lose it I will check in with you on Wednesday from work if it hasn’t returned by then.
Liz called around 7 to tell us they lost power. The neighbor’s tree came down on neighbor’s house. The boys are going to Liz’s house. They also lost part of their fence.
