Surviving the storm
Well, we made it through the first big storm of the winter season.. though it's not even winter yet. *sighs* If you've heard anything about the Buffalo/Western New York area and the disaster it is, please keep us in your prayers. Thankfully I got out of it pretty unscathed. Most of a tree fell on my car, but did no damage. Also, we have power, though no phone or internet. My neighborhood looks like a war zone. There's trees and power lines (as well as phone and cable lines) in the streets. They actually said our area was getting federal disaster aid.. that's how bad it is. Some 250,000 poeple are without heat or power right now. I couldn't get into work on friday due to my car being burried, but I did volunteer at the hospital where my mom work from 3pm - 8:30pm. I worked with her in the dietary department cooking and serving food to patients and staff. It felt good to do something since I felt so useless.
I spent part of Saturday dragging branches and trees out of the street and from around my car while my uncle cut them down with the chain saw. It's definately been rough. I'll try and post pictures at some point, not sure when. Well, I should get back to work. Hope everyone else is safe and warm!
