Shoo Sandy

Frankenstorm update, Tuesday: 

H and I were pretty lucky yesterday. We ate, drank, danced, and played Gin Rummy. We both were awaken by the storm in the middle of the night but, we seemed to have slept through the worst of it.

As of now, it's still raining.

The winds have died down. The temperature's in the low 40's. The clouds will hopefully part by tomorrow and start drying up this soggy mess.

H took this picture this morning at the Harbor. 

From what I can tell, or have been told, some people/businesses had problems with flooding. Some did not. Most of the store fronts near the water still look like this. 

Travel restrictions are being lifted, debris being cleared, and power is slowly being restored. Although, it is not the best day in Maryland it looks like minimal damage was done, respectively.

Our thoughts and prayers are with my family and the people suffering in NJ/NY. In particular, my UB who has a house on LBI, NJ. The reports and pictures we've seen so far aren't good. But, we wont know details until they let people back on the island which, may be somewhere around 10 days. 

LBI is a long, skinny island that runs north-south along the NJ coast. Yesterday, the ocean met the bay and the water levels rose. Many homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed. We are hoping not UB's and saddened for the others. We have so many great memories there. Remember Chowderfest?
