Storm Sandy
Storm Sandy
To my US East Coast friends. . .please be safe during this unprecedented storm. The federal government is shut down, all trains, metro, etc. closed. We have been checking in on elderly neighbors and those who aren't able bodied.
I don't normally get worked up about storms, but this one has me spooked.
Wishing everyone well over the next few days. Take care of yourselves and others.

I am cooking everything in the fridge, as we will surely loose power by 3 pm. The kids had salmon, asparagus, and bearnaise for breakfast. :-)
I am somewhat in a safe area for water. But the wind is what may get me. The house was built in1889 and it has pretty old aspects to handle a hurricane at full speed. I will take precautions to be in the interior room.
The are a lot of doors between each room so I can section off the house if windows done hold up.
I have two old trees that have had branches come down in less so I suspect they may be uprooted.
I have a roast I am going to start in a little while. Need to be made or lose it. I have a gas stove so I can cook with no power if needed.
Let's see how this goes.

Being a volunteer EMT and hubby being a volunteer firefighter, we are all hands on deck. Our town is at sea level and already is experiencing a lot of flooding. It's going to be a long couple of days.
I'm in southeastern CT in one of the shoreline towns, but I live about 5 miles from Long Island Sound.
I'm sheltered in a valley...so far haven't seen much in terms of winds. Gusts are forecast to be pretty significant late afternoon into the night.
Looks like NYC is going to get hit pretty hard by this. West Virginia will be hit with blizzard conditions!
Amazing storm...hard to believe the sheer size of it.
Stay safe, peeps.

anytime there are these types of storms that hit our country it bothers me, i dont like to see anyone in danger. now it is heading my way and i hate to say it but the stress from this madness isnt very comforting right now. will i use, i highly doubt it because there will be NO stores open to but anything. it just seems as of late there have been way too many of these hurricanes hitting landfall. ever since katrina we have been nailed almost every season, are these signs of things to come?

i'm 30 miles west of NYC, my daughter lives on the beach year round...the barrier dunes have not been breached in the morning high tide, it's tonight that worries me. she is boarded up and surrounded by sandbags.
the university where i work is closed until Wednesday (we are state govt. non essential personal). the med students are off too.
it's windy here and raining intermittently, you are supposed to stay off the roads today...i have no where to go, it's not a big deal. I have full power and cable, internet and heat. I have gas for cooking too. i'm 50+ miles inland, but the trees are the biggest threat.
