Frankenstorm Sandy

MissItalianDiva · 10-31-2012, 11:39 AM

Geez....thought I clicked Frankenstorm Sandy thread a min ago but was reading something completely non related so I scrolled up and realized it was "ask a trans person" thread...well after trying to piece the puzzle together I am awake.

Really glad everyone here seems to be safe ...hope everyone has power and is able to stay warm.

nick and aleja are doing so-so, they've gotten some extra batteries i think so his ventilator is lasting longer, and they have people planning to cover shifts to charge the batteries for the next few days. they're working on getting some pca care for aleja since all of their resources have been taken up trying to keep nick's ventilator on. fdny tried to force them to evacuate but it seems like they have been able to stay where they are since nick can't be moved (thankfully the paramedics agree and did not try to evacuate them). thanks to paypal and a LOT of driving back and forth, they now have 36 hours of battery time instead of 3!

still waiting to hear from a few other friends - hoping it's just that their power/internet is out and nothing is seriously wrong.

i'm so grateful my partner (in virginia) is okay - they only got some rain and wind where he is, nothing too serious.

thinking of you all with love.

Safe and sound in western Jersey. No power, heat or internet, but they say we may have them back in 7 to 10 days......I'm hoping sooner! Thanks for all the support everyone! I don't know when I will be able to get back online, but I will be thinking about all of you!

Glad to hear so many folks are ok...thoughts and prayers to all those affected by Sandy.

It may only be Oct. 31 (a lil while longer anyway) but it's ok with me if it doesn't snow anymore this fall/winter!!

Was without power/internet etc for a short amount of time, my parents are without now, 400,000+ homes affected still but hope to be restored by Sunday. Schools are closed in various areas state wide still, and more remote areas have yet to be visited by National Guard/EMS/other emergency workers.

So thankful to be warm and dry this Halloween night. Trick or treating was cancelled til tomorrow.

Been catching up on photos from NJ, NYC, and it's so heartbreaking, almost incomprehensible the shear devestation. I'm also very thankful for the storm warnings and preparations, thus giving us time to gather the things we needed and for those who needed to get out of town.
I will never ever be complacent again.

Happy to read of those checking in and glad you are all ok!

Heard from Maryoosa ... They are ok. power just came back on...

The world is a warmer, brighter place. I was really worried, it's gotten quite cold out, happily I came home to lights and heat! My prayers and thoughts are with everyone who is in the midst of dealing with the aftermath of this storm!

Uneasy tonight, sad for the people without power, as the night gets colder. My friends in Manhattan and Queens are fine. We can't get to each other, though. The days alone without contact except my new next door neighbors are starting to get to me but I have power, lights and cable, I have no legitimate complaints.

Still, this uneasy feeling.
