All Clear

Everything is fine here.  We never lost power.  We sprung a leak in the wall above one of our windows - and there is some water damage to the top of the window frame from that but otherwise, we're fine.  I'm not sure how we're going to repair the leak - it seems to have come from outside.  Since the window is on the 4th floor of the building there is no way for us to look out there.  I think it is because it rained so much.

The damage here seems pretty minimal.  Some trees down, some minor flooding, but this area has had much worse storms.  It seems New Jersey and New York suffered much more damage.

Nothing exciting to report - which is a good thing!

The wind is really picking up - leaves are swirling around outside and rain is coming in our side windows :-(

I just received a text message saying the school is closed again tomorrow and the news is telling us to expect up to 75 mph wind gusts later on this evening.  As of now, we still have power!

Hurricane Sandy

I think we're set. We have a lot of water, snacks, and fruit in case the electricity goes out. We're hoping it won't. Schools are cancelled, the Federal government is closed, Metro is not running - not even buses (and those usually run even in snowstorms!) and for the first time ever, Jason's work gave everyone the option to either take leave or work from home today. I'll update the blog with information about Sandy as long as we have electricity!

Prepping for Sandy

Here we are at Target - notice the empty shelf - this is where the water is (was) - we were able to get some but there wasn't much left!
