Updates Please

Hey you East Coast People !

We are still thinking of you - seeing all the images of flooding etc.

Drop us a quick line letting us know how you fared (and your cars) some still haven't been heard from since the event started in earnest......

Well, the storm petered out before it reached Northern NY. We got rain and wind, but nothing dangerous.

Back home, a lot of my family has been impacted. Most places in NJ will not have power for at least another week. Most gas stations are low on supply, and people are in lines hundreds deep waiting to see if there is anything.

My parents are luckily okay. We had a few tree falls in the yard, but nothing that hit the house did any damage, and the massive tree fortunately fell away from the house. The rest of my family is pooling up and trying to begin recovering (if they can) their houses from the flood damage.

Thanks again for the concern guys. It is really special that people all over care. It means a lot.
