All is well where I am...mostly downed trees and power outages here and there. But all in all it's getting back to normal!! Went driving around today to see the effects of the storm and wow some of it is really amazing!!
A friend of mine who works in my office has been called up by FEMA to do damage assement of residental structures somewhere in path of Sandy. He doesn't know where he will be assigned or how long he'll be there. I'm just about green with envy too. Last summer he took some emergency management courses and got certified for this activity, and he was bugging me for weeks to take the classes and get the certification with him. But I'm just a lazy bumb, and didn't do it. He is in for a once in a lifetime experience now, and all I can do is listen to his stories when he gets back. Sometimes I'm just dumber than a rock.
I think it must have died off some before hitting where i live.. we got a little rain and high winds and we lost power at 1130 monday night and still dont have it back yet. But for most part lot of downed trees and power outages
My wife and I are ok, my house is ok, but we have no power, haven't since 8 PM monday night. Writing this from work now that I can get to NYC. It's pretty nasty in a lot of places I drove through. I think this is gonna be a rough recovery for a lot of people, I'm very fortunate to not be one of them.
We heard from my neice today; she's in Brooklyn, has power and is dry. Said the winds gusted to 90 MPH, but no real damage where she is. That's very good news.
