Yay Donna and Beauty both safe too!  Be careful out there.

A-ok here in Owings, 3 miles from Chesapeake Beach, MD!

A wild night for sure, though it appears at the moment from my windows, that my neighborhood is unscathed...
SERIOUS rain, and shrieking wind most of the night.  Power never faltered here at my house, that would have been a nuisance since I have electric heat and no alternate heat source, and it's only 39° here this morning.

Glad everyone is ok, and thatBeauty was seen this morning.   So far so good.  Never lost power; even family on LI didn't lose power!    The worst is over. 
Parts of NYC and NJ look pretty hard hit!  Thoughts are with them.

Had bad winds and rain last night-never lost power! Today 65 degress sunny-like just like we had a  thunderstorm!  Hope everyone is safe and  gets power soon. Prayers to all who have damage!

Of course I did! What kind of mother do you think I am?

Glad to read reports of people and our Falcons making it through the storm OK.  I saw this article today on Twitter about the impact of hurricanes on fish and wildlife:

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.

So glad, thanks!

Finally home!  All is well...not even getting a cold shoulder from the kitties! You could see where there had been some trees down along the way, but they're cleared up now. Power-phone-cable...it's all good.

My brother is fine-no power, but no damage.

Cousin in Little Falls NJ had a tree come through the side of the house.  They're all safe.

Cousin in Sound Beach LI had a tree on her roof & a small hole, but otherwise fine. 

Her sister further out has the LI sound in her front yard, but the house is OK & they're OK.

That cousin's son lives in Howard Beach Queens-his car is under water, but otherwise they're fine despite ignoring the evacuation warnings...

And I think that's it for now...

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.

Good to hear from you and that you're OK but sad about the loss of lives. So much devastation.
