I was at work when the worst started. I ended up leaving work early, around 1am during the brunt since we couldn't find any drivers to make the runs. My boss actually asked me to make a run to Hopkins at double time pay. I agreed and my biggest worry wasn't the weather. It was getting mugged or finding parking. He laughed and said you're an emergency worker...double park. He ended finding a driver to make the run though so I just headed home. It was a strange ride home because all the highway lights were out along I-95. Got home to no power. I was told it went out around 11pm. It came back on about an hour ago. WTG Baltimore Gas & Electric and a huge thanks to the 3,700 out of state utility workers that came to help.

I remember when we rode out Hurricane Charley that hit Punta Gorda, FL in 2004. This was a fast moving hurricane that hit Orlando, about three hours later. I am a native Floridian and that scared me. When we were able to go outside the next morning, we walked from our neighbors apartment to our apartment, and we had a small oak tree in the stairwell and we had to climb through it to reach our apartment. The French doors were blown open, water and debri was all over the living room and my two cats, were scared to death in the bathroom. As a result, I ended up with pneumonia from the black mold and it took the management company several weeks to clean up the mess. You could see where the high winds lifted the roof of our apartment and dropped it back down. You could see the roofing nails through the paint. I tried to call my mom, who lives near Daytona Beach, FL and the cell phone towers were down for AT&T. It took me a few hours to finally get in touch with her and found out that she was ok and that they lost power for two weeks. She lives near the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the river, came up over the seawall and left a mess in the pool.
I feel for the people who have lost their power and lives and my thoughts and prayers go out to them! Zimmy

Central Jersey update...
The birds are back yapping outside. They are out eating the seed! I think it is a good sign. |

We are thinking of you and your family. Cell service is very sketchy, and so is power. DON'T FORGET THAT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP AN OLD-FASHIONED PHONE (non-wireless) ON HAND FOR EMERGENCY. EVEN WHEN YOU LOSE ELECTRICITY, MOST TIMES THE LANDLINE PHONES STILL WORK. (they get their power from the phone line, not the electric coming in to your house) |

My daughter had a change of plans with her best friend. They went to Bethany's brother's home in Worcester. So far, so good. THANK YOU all for the love, support, caring, prayers and concerns. Thank you especially LaDavina for the info you gave me. May all be safe, warm and free from harm! Jazzie

Crazy flash floods have caused several dams to break around our area.
The photos and videos are really shocking.

3pm in Brooklyn -- why are the winds so high if this thing is over? The howling woke me up from a nap.

It is also just strange to live in one part of town that isn't flooded, only to see footage of rescuers in boats 10 miles up the road from you.
