Hurricane Sandy

[Mark McLeod]

woo hoo!
I rigged up brief Internet access using an old wornout robot battery.
We plan to tap in occasionally to check the storms progress and keep in touch.

Large oaks dropped right and left of me, in addition to the ones I've lost.

Been without power for 5 hours.
Dinner by candlelight was romantic with the storm tossing trees by the window.

Here is to a quick recovery. When Ike came through Cincy, we were without power for 3 days. Nothing compared to our southern friends, but for a place not used to seeing hurricane force winds, that was a long time.

Checking in from Massachusetts.

We still have power, all the schools have been closed today. I did think we were going to lose power earlier because the cable went out for a minute, but its still on!

Lots of wind and some rain though.

Lost a tree in our yard, but it didn't fall anywhere near the house (we have a big backyard).

All of y'all, stay safe.

I had to grab someone to keep them from falling over while on campus today. Then my umbrella flew away and I had to catch it...

I have a lot of friends going to college on the east coast (like, right on the coast) so I hope their schools are not under water when they go back.

Rutgers experienced some flooding (saw a few pictures from friends) but I haven't seen the latest extent of the damage.
