Over the years many of us have heard the countless false alarms or over exaggerations in lieu of blizzards and hurricanes. Sandy sent early heads of warning with billowing clouds days prior to her inching closer up the east coast. We batten down the hatches on Sunday ready for whatever would come our way.
(Camp Oswego sustained a bit of damage with a very uprooted tree swaying over our power lines. Very scary. Earlier in the day the police closed the road off which made all of our neighbors very ecstatic for the possibility of a power outage along with lacking access to their homes. Awesome.)
Early afternoon on Monday Keith trekked out with me hanging out as I did a little mid-hurricane paddle boarding. Except for a bit or rain and wind, it really was a nice escape from being house bound. From clips on the news to pics on face book it was heart breaking watching the devastation along the Jersey Shore and then on to New York City. Lots of loss, flooding and damage that will inevitably take heaps of time and money to put all back to its pre-hurricane state.
As I am officially going insane being stuck in the house for over 55 hours, so much of me is grateful for that we are all safe, warm and intact. Viewing the countless pics on the internet there are many, many people that have suffered extensive damage and loss. Thankful for Camp Oswego staying in one piece and the family being safe and dry.
