Well, Hurricane Sandy has left her mark on the Atlantic Sea Coast, the Northeast, and the Middle Atlantic States, and combined with other weather phenomenon, the Midwest and Great Lakes.
I am grateful, so far, that I have heard from several family members. My sister in Worcester, Mass. was minimally affected. My brother, the electrical engineer who works for an electric utility in Connecticut seems to be personally safe, although his house lost power, and a tree blocked the rode to his house. He will be very busy at work until power is restored to the customers of the utility.
My niece, who lives in New York City had power, running clean water, and no flooding, so, although she felt a little trapped, she was safe. My friend, in upstate New York, passed a hairy night with power flickerings, but general safety.
I am so grateful for the members of my family who have checked in. I am hoping that those who have not checked in are all safe.
As I watched the reports of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, I was struck by the damage in New Jersey: The sand dunes were washed inland at places, and the sand buried land features. Hmmm, a signature happening from a Sandy hurricane.
