Small News: Hurricane Sandy



Well, I picked a good year to move to Texas!

My hometown in NY is pretty much destroyed and we're still waiting to find out if our house made it through. My in laws are here (on a totally coincidental but well-timed vacation), so at least we know they're safe. We know the bay and the ocean met and surrounded our home, but we don't know if the water came inside. Unfortunately we do know some people whose homes have been swept out to sea or burned.

I'll be a little MIA around here for a little while as we try to figure out what happened and try to contact our family and friends who are still in NY. I hope everyone else who has been affected by the storm is safe! I know some of you live near the affected areas and you are in my thoughts.

  5. I hope everyone is okay! I live in NJ, and in my area, short from power outages, we didn't have any major damage. It makes me feel almost guilty when I hear about other people's stories. Seriously, I hope it wasn't awful for you and man, it was fated being in Texas.

  13. Oh no. This just doesn't seem to be your year. Those videos of the wreckage were so sad. How stressful for you! I hope everyone you left back home is okay even if their possessions aren't.
