So happy to hear.
Compared to some other folks around here we fared will with Sandy. Only 38 hours without power. Had 6 inches of water in the barn (what a shame all the guns were in there wink wink.) The transmission went on my car and the breaks went on my husband’s, and the power surge when it was restored killed the water pump, so another 3 day without water or heat.
But we still have a home, we know far too many that can’t say that. There are towns/communities near us that are half gone. Of course the MSM is not reporting any of it, heck most of Virginia doesn’t even know how much damage we had here. I’ve actually had folks on face book in other parts of Virginia tell me that if it wasn’t for my postings they wouldn’t know Sandy caused any damage here. Go figger.
