Well, I did not lose electricity and am feeling very happy about that. At least one large tree down in the front yard out by the drive way. Waiting for sunrise to see the yard, although there will continue to be rain throughout the day. Sandy is still leaving a trail of life-threatening devastation to the north of me with broken levees flooding entire towns, terrible fires reducing dozens of homes to ash and 3 foot snow blizzards to the west and north. May we all hope those continuing their watch and wait are safe and may we send some relief to those who are now devastated.
The storm has been consuming here. We have good friends in Rhode Island so have been watching for news of that tiny state in particular.
ReplyDeletedeep breath ~ smile ~ that's it, just a smile across the miles.
ReplyDeleteI am sending healing thoughts for all of you in this disaters path.
ReplyDeleteIn time Mother Earth will work her magic , though now, I know ya'll cant see it, so I will SEE it for you and hold you in a bubble of light.
What an apocalyptic storm. I'm pretty sure your chocolate chip cookies saved you though. They always help.
ReplyDeleteGlad you pulled through in one piece!
I hope the worst is over, but for millions the clean-up will be a terrible ordeal.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are safe our student at Princeton is sheltering in her 3rd floor attic room, sans electricity but safe.
ReplyDeleteWe are worried about our friends in Point Pleasant. They are in their 80s. So many people affected. It's huge. Be safe and stay well, everyone.
ReplyDeleteI'm close to Richmond. All is well here, aside from an unfortunate car accident in which two people died. It's sad.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you appear to have come out on the good side, too. I hope it won't be too costly to deal with your downed tree.

We just got a lot of wind and cold, after enjoying 80 degree weather just a day or so before!
ReplyDeleteWow, that picture is huge! Happy Halloweeeeee n.
So glad to know you made it through safely. It was quite the uneasy night.. even way up here.
ReplyDeleteWhew! That was a close one. We just never know.
ReplyDeleteIt just chilled me to read about the people who did not evacuate and they were told - stay in your homes - it is too late to leave now.
It just chilled me to the bone.
Continuing to pray for all those affected, and i hope your yard is not in too bad of shape.
ReplyDeleteWe who lived through Katrina will be sending all the help we can.
Glad you are ok. I have an uncle now living in N Carolina, haven't heard from him yet.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is still well for you there- Glad you were spared the 3 feet of fluff at least- That must be terrible for those folks-.
Sorry you lost another tree- I remember last year's hurricane yard pics you had...
I'm ok here, but we had a storm remnant microburst nearby just last night shooting tree trucks thru homes, so it wasn't over yet! At least the street flooding was short lived.
Lots of praying for victims here- so many! Heard 72 today. More life-altering events for all to weather n learn from.
