Sandy has hit, and my corner of Brooklyn is still standing. The wind was howling like a banshee and the windows were rattling and the tree outside my building was swaying alarmingly, but (aside from a few hours yesterday afternoon), the rain wasn't particularly heavy.

So glad you're okay!

I'm really sorry about your mom's house, though--though glad she's safe.

(my parents didn't lose electricity either, thank goodness!)

hope you stay safe, warm and dry today xoxo

Glad you are safe and powered up at home! Us, too. Our neighborhood seems almost back to normal aside from some tree clean-up. Travel is going to be a real issue, though, huh.

Glad you're ok, and your dad too! I hope the damage to your mom's house isn't too bad, but at least she's safe.

Yeah, my mom's scheduled to return on Friday, but that's only if the airports and roads are open, so that's the earliest we'll know the full extent of the damage.

Thanks, sugar!

Very good to hear--thank you for the update. Hopefully they will have the subway up and running again quickly...

Thank you very much - yes, I hope the subways are up soon, but given the damage, I'd be surprised if anything happened this week.
