"Hurricane Sandy"

Is it me or the location I'm in? It wasn't that bad. It ended here last night at approximately 8:30 PM Eastern. I went outside in the dark but was able to see a full moon and clouds.   I live on the side of the building where I could leave the windows open during the storm to hear the gusts of roaring wind. The power went off at around 3:00 that afternoon as expected. Willie was acting weird and his ears were perked as he kitty slinked around the house. Mostly keeping near the walls but not straying to far from me, although he did occasionally sit on the sill to watch leaves fly by the window...Brave little guy that he it is. All in all not that bad for being a mile away from the ocean. I haven't been out yet and I am not looking forward to some of the roads being closed and all the fallen trees. When I was working I did, not much but some line repair and I know what those guys go through... Never ever stop and ask them when the power will be back on? Just move along, smile, wave and give the thumbs up sign but keep moving. Being fully prepared for this storm I don't have that much to do. I feel bad for the folks that have to go to work...Be careful out there.  The image is from Google Earth today at 9:30 AM Eastern Time ....
