Post-Sandy check-in...
All is well here. It basically missed us... sort of circled around and punched everyone around us in the face, but we escaped the brunt of it. We had a little bit of rain (no flooding) and some pretty fierce winds off and on, but the damage seems to be minimal. Some debris in the road, a few power outages here and there, but nothing at all like what we were bracing for.
Irene kicked us around pretty good last year (some places around here still haven't recovered), so I think we were prepared for similar devastation. Luckily, we were spared.
Just a little south of here, however, was not so lucky. There are streets (cities!) under water, millions of people without power, and rampant destruction and chaos.
My heart is with all of you guys (who probably can't see this :p) down there.
I've had check-ins from some friends in Maryland and Virginia, who were reporting severe wind and way more rain, but nothing unbearable.
Sighing with relief and hoping for the best for everyone else ♥
