Have been thinking of them for the last couple of days, yes it's major. Especially for people and property who are not accustomed to seasonal tropical storms

They say the storm is so strong it will blow up into the arctic circle. The statistics are staggering. Stock exchange closed, 8 million without power, 80 houses burned in one neighborhood. to many to recount. Unfortunately I think things are going to get worse before they get better. We have a very heated presidential race and it will be likely that large numbers of people will not be able to vote. I think the only way to move an election day is if congress passes an emergency bill. Of course if one side thinks they have an advantage the will refuse to pass anything. I feel like I am in a third world country.

Very unnerving event to say the least. We were down in Charleston, South Carolina to attend my daughter in laws baby shower when news of the hurricane broadcast. Kept an eye on it for a couple of days and decided to remain in South Carolina as there was nothing I could do if the storm hit Hampton Roads Virginia. Our area was in the left side of the cone of probability for the eye to cross. Fortunately for us and unfortunately for New Jersey the storm kept waiting to make it's left had turn pushing it further north. We arrived back home yesterday and while there was some damage from trees down and flooding, we were very lucky. I still have power! My thoughts and prayers are with the folks affected. Going to be weeks until all damage assessments are done.

Lets hope all those who have suffered will be helped quickly.
