Hurricane Sandy
So, power is finally back on.
My family is safe and sound. We didn't get any real damage to our house, a few fallen branches and one tree is looking kinda tilty. And some of the food is probably no good. But that's about it.
We lost power for about two days and are only just now finding out how badly Sandy hit the Jersey Shore. I'm seeing pictures and videos and status updates on Facebook and it's not pretty. Long Beach Island is just awful...There actually aren't too many pictures of it, because access is blocked. I saw aerial news footage of LBI and wanted to cry. Seaside Heights also fared badly. Casino Pier was destroyed.
Our neighborhood fared well, just some downed trees, but there was flooding only blocks away. The house were we used to live until last year was flooded out, with maybe as much as four feet in the house. As we drive farther from our house we can see more and more damage. The flooding was bad. There are boats just...in places where boats should not be.
The more I see and hear the more thankful and grateful I am.
