Hi !! Well that was a long night !!! We were lucky that we weren't caught in the power cuts, but there has been damage to houses around us, we were actually eating dinner last night and a whole piece of siding fell down in front of our dining room window !! It wasn't from our house or any neighbours nearby, so goodness knows where it came from !! The winds were amazing, so loud, almost like a howling noise, for most of the night. I actually slept downstairs in our finished basement with the Cats, as I wasn't taking any chances, as a lot of trees were blown down !!
Yes, we were in it's path as we are not too far away from Philadelphia in P.A, if any of you were watching the reports showing the Eastern Beach resorts ( the monster waves, the flooding and where Sandy hit land ) like Cape May, Rehoboth,etc, well they are all places we have been to, so awful to watch Sandy bash those lovely beachside towns !!!
All public transport around here is still closed, and they still don't want too any people out there traveling yet, apart from the trees down, there is local flooding and also most of our electricity power is carried overhead,not buried in the ground, so a lot of those electricity poles have been knocked over and live wires are all over the place.
So, what with Irene last year, and now Sandy, we are becoming old hands at this Hurricane malarky !!!! ( plus, we also have also experienced an earthquake since we moved here !! Lol !!! Though, that was not my first one !!! )
