Frankenstorm Sandy

Lots of rain... wind is picking up. I am watching the tops of my trees swaying and I keep trying to convince them to sway away from the house..... they aren't listening.

My gutters are full of leaves so the water is pouring over the top...

My property is wetlands so the back yard is starting to flood and the creek at the back of the woods is almost to the top. I am just waiting for the sump pump to start. I even went down to the pump to make sure I remembered how to make it empty if the power goes out. (I really need a back up battery)

But in all in all, everything is good and I am ready. I hope everyone stays safe!

eta: The Governor has just ordered a Level 2 driving ban....only Essential Personnel.
