Boston got rain and big wind over many hours. Not as bad here as forecast. We have large tree branches that snapped off. No personal damage or loss of services.
Some parts of our coast in North Carolina got quite a bit, but I am in central part of the state so we just had very overcast skies and a little rain Monday. Today was cool.
Things look pretty bad in New York City and New Jersey.
Geez louise, it was a low end hurricane.
My childhood revisited.
A rotting city tree came down on phone and power lines next to the house.
The phone pole snapped in half and took off a chunk of a maple tree that landed behind my van.
No heat, power. phone.
Family got pi**y so I left ASAP.
Lots of driving through downed trees and lines yesterday eve.
The more crowded the coastal areas become, the bigger the $$$ call on damages.
Never build a house with a basement at 10 feet above sea level, nouveau geniuses.
Gosh Renee, was family so bad that you had to drive through that? Were you alone? Sometime when things happen I just want to be in my own home. Maybe that is how you felt. Don't know how far you had to go but I would not care to drive in it. You are a brave lady. But then we already knew that. Hope
everything was alright at your house when you got there.
My son and his family are in New Jersey, no water, no power ,no Gas for generators,but they are alive and safe. The little ones were disappointed that Halloween was canceled , but such is the minds of children, wish that were the most worry we all have, but I am so very thankful they are safe ., hugs and prayers to all that are struggling to recover. (( hug))) GING
Bro is still without heat, electricity and phone. The worst of fallen trees are gone
but phone and power lines are dangling everywhere.
I couldn't handle it longer than I did.
At least his workplace is warm and dry. Police are demanding IDs from everyone
entering the neighborhood on its single road access. This isn't stopping burglaries and looting
of evacuated houses next to the water.
I suspect it easy to come on shore by way of small boats since it isn't on the ocean.
This is probably why people are reticent to leave homes unless someone tells them
the first floor of their home will be ruined and there will be no food or water
for at least a week or more.
Very sad- but it is a good thing there are more good acts than vile.
