All things considered, you're lucky to have power.
Hope it stays on for you.
Thank you. It did indeed stay on. But now we have NO subways, no buses, no airports open, several hospitals closed/evacuated, schools closed (YAHOO!! I'm a teacher...), massive flooding of lower Manhattan and The Rockaways, fires, at least 10 deaths in NYC alone, thousands without power, etc. I count myself extremely lucky that the worst that happened here was staying inside on a very windy rainy day. Some scary big THUMPS of things Unknown in the night, but I saw no evidence of what they may have been come daylight. Because we had a 2010 tornado right exactly in my neighborhood, most of the weak tree limbs were already torn off or trimmed off after the tornado. Thus, there are only a few limbs on my immediate street. I have not yet been outside; I received several robo-calls from the Office of Emergency Management (including one at midnight and one at 3:00 a.m.!!) telling me to stay home. Yeah, I'm gonna hop out of bed at 3:00 a.m. and go outside. All in all, it was horrible for other people and I feel for them.
QUESTION: Where the hell was OBAMA? Has he visited the affected areas? Absolutely not; talk is CHEAP. A puny pale imitation of a leader.
