Glad to hear everyone made it relatively unscathed. The ceiling in my daughters' bedroom came down a little bit, and a tree fell in my brother's backyard that punctured the pool, but other than that, it was all good. Finally, the wind is dying down, so I don't have to worry about the trees in the front and backyard.

We lost power for about 10 seconds and that was it other than the satellite cutting in and out for a while during the worst part of the rain. No flooded basement and no damage to anything. I'm glad that everyone is safe.

Sorry to hear that Scribe...definitely challenging with a 4 month old. Hopefully your are still nursing to make it a little easier as far as feeding the baby goes.

found it interesting to read where y'all are from. I've been lurking here for a few years didn't realize I had so many 'neighbors'. Maris, saw your pictures knew immediately where that was! Glad you made it thru with minimal problems. Same here at the Nassau County end of your peninsula althought 878 and Rockaway tpke was a mess For those in NJ...lordy lordy...I had to go retrieve a group of kids that got stranded in PA b/c the Shortline Bus didn't run on Monday and I-80 From the GW to Exit 34 was a MESS!

My friend posted on Facebook that her dad has been away from home since Aug. 22. He is heading up a crew from Pennsylvania that is working in New Jersey to restore power. She said today that the men are so happy because they get to sleep in a hotel tonight. They have been sleeping in their trucks or in tents.

Please pay attention to Katia out there. The weather people said that this year was going to be like the 1950's with East Coast landings. Put this in your favorites for awhile. http://hurricane.accuweather.com/hurricane/atlantic/2011/katia/storm.asp?partner=accuweather Keep your supplies and maybe get some batteries in.

Heading to the Outer Banks in NC to see the damage on our familys cottage. We are only an hour away in Virginia (right across the border). It was bad here in Virgina but not as bad as they thought it would have been for our area.

Hope all of our TVCH buddies are safe with Tropical Storm Lee. I hear there have been multiple tornado spin-offs and flooding. Too bad Texas can't have a bit of that rain.
