Frankenstorm 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!
