We were 'spared' here. I think it was because we are on the west side of a hill. There is terrible tree damage that took two young lives. Parks are closed and Verplanck had boats washed up on the road.
Made it through the night on the very loud and very rough south shore of Lake Ontario without getting flooded or losing power! YAY! And I was not among the 2,250 lakeshore residents who were issued mandatory evacuation orders.
Just got internet back at work...my brother & family are OK-no power...I called home & my answering machine picked up so I have power. More later when I get home...
Checking in! All good here and we have power. What a horrible night it was. I finally fell asleep in between gusts! Never heard such wind in my life and never want to again. So much damage around here and we are so so lucky, others aren't. Some of my friends and family have suffered big damage from trees hitting their homes. Most roads are blocked, no traffic lights working for miles, it's just not good. I hope others who endured this bad girl Sandy will check in if they can. Going to walk around the hood in a while to see just what Sandy did. Phew, thanks!
