I'm glad you came through this storm with relatively little damage. I have been praying for all my wonderful Strokenet friends all day here. I've really only seen what is happening in New York on our news and that does not seem too bad, so hope and pray all the rest of the country is safe.

Take a deep breath now and do whatever you have to do but please put a day aside sometime soon as a relax and recuperate day.

Sue.

Praying I did Debbie and kept asking the Lord to spare His people but I see today there were deaths and we don't know if they decided to not get out of harms way and go to a shelter or not!

This reminds me so much of Katrina in New Orleans when people just would not leave their homes and pets behind and the recent flooding this year where another part of the city was flooded! I wouldn't live there for any amount of money!

That transit system in New York is ruined for some time to come from the pictures they show on TV!!

I am concerned how our members made out in North Carolina and other areas that was hit very hard! Well get some rest if possible you got lots of work ahead of you home and job!!!

Debbie,

I am so glad that you and Bruce came thru with very little detriment. I was praying and worrying about you both.

See you in chat tonight.

we did survive here in west virginia. no power outage for us yet but a lot of early snow. Yuk

Remind me again how to find a lost draft? Oh well.

Yes Nancy and I (and Ray and Dan) are heading due south. We left Sunday as the storm approached, and were out of NY Harbor just two hours before they closed it. Our crazy captain drove full steam ahead through the storm, so a bit of seasickness by some, but we got off at Cocoa Beach yesterday and now headed for the sunny Bahamas .

After finally getting a Verizon signal, II spent the morning yesterday trying to call our neighbors, and/or Pat the aide who is taking care of the cats. No land lines nor cells seem to be avaialble on Long Island right now, but finally got through to Pat via text. She confirmed no electric, at our house nor at hers. Guesstimate is at least seven to ten days. Before I got her, I have one neighbor who we are not overly friendly with, but she is on my Facebook so I wrote and begged for info as to the condition of my house. She told me one tree down on the side of the driveway, but didn't hit anything, and two more down in the woods out back. She said her husband would walk the property and see if any other damage. I am sure the two neighbors directly across from us have their eyes out too, as I alerted them before we left. Pat says our herd of cats are fine, so my biggest worry now is my winter supply of food in the two freezers, guess I can kiss that goodbye. Well I have lots of canned stuff so at least we won't starve when we return. Haha like that would be possible after the delicious buffets here on the ship.

I'm pretty sure that eventually I will look back and realize how lucky we were to be out of town for all this,but right now I wish I had a magic crystal ball so I could see what's going on back there. But whatever, I'm sure we'll get through iwhatever it is just like everything else.
