The advice is, that if you need to travel, check the weather where you're going, which is just good advice any time. This storm is over and it's worst impact was the wind hindering the recovery efforts to those effected by Sandy, followed by some snow in the upper East States but it's was nothing to get our knickers in a knot over.

Had it not come on the heels of Sandy I doubt this storm would have made the news and the States who did feel it's effects are so accustomed to weather of this nature this time of year, that I imagine she evoked little more than a yawn.

We're okay. Just pray for those who lost everything to Sandy.

Hi Fred, I live in central florida, so Iam away from water, and that helps. One time there was a rought hurraine that did damage our roof and ripped out lots of trees. If we were told to leave I leave.

Iam from England, and we had snow, and cold weather. Nothing like here in America, see England is like a island, so we haded rain, lots of rain, and the Bristishs way, was you put on a stiff higher lip, and got on with it.

I also loved to travel,before my stroke, I told my husband that I wanted to travel, know America, what I loved was how each area was different, with the culture,foods,speech. So we did differnt parts of Florida, Chicago which I loved, Georgia, countryside was wonderful, Virgina, liked, Washington DC, loved the culture, Wisconsed, Iwowa, Indana, New York, New Jersey and Phoneix. My husband did not travel till he met me LOL..

Now, after my stroke, the doctor say my bloodpressure needs to be better, I want to go and visit my Parents in England. So Iam on a mision, so much traveling I have in me. I also want to go Jamica, I have been, want to take my Husband, go to Aftrica the motherland.

My thoughts and prayers, for anyone dealing with the storm.

Fred I too remember the good ole days when gasoline was 25 cents a gallon and an attendant pumped the gas and checked under the hood. Most of my traveling was done compliments of 22 years military. I still have plans have going to Hawaii and Australia. Pam and I are considering buying an RV, neither one of us can back up a trailer lol. Life is good and my stroke slowed me down, but I intend to not take things for granted anymore and just want to take one day at a time and enjoy life as precious and worth living.

Fred, I live in a land of droughts and flooding rains. We have cyclones (hurricanes) north of us in summer and snow south of us in winter. Mostly our weather is mild but it can be hot, cold, wet and dry all in the one day with the strange weather we are having.

I guess if you are travelling you plan for the worst case scenario and rejoice when none of that happens.

I for one never worried about weather, why worry about things we don't have control over, while picking out vacation spot I just make sure its holidays in school & its moderately warm. our travelling hapens usually in spring & summer breaks.
