places you could never imagine. Glad to hear that no one yet is devastated. i like the name of that ride in the
photo...typhoon, lol.

After what was a very eerie night an a rough morning, made it home ok. All things considering my family got off very lucky. No major damage, and although most of us are without power, for what could be days, nobody was hurt, all our houses are ok, and compared to the utter carnage I saw on my way home, southern Connecticut and Westchester it didn't feel like a tree or power line was left standing.

I'll try and get some pictures up when I get to work tomorrow.

But, end of the day, it's all just "stuff." I'm grateful I have someplace else to be, and I am safe.

Then, we spent 3 days at sea, riding out waves that rolled a huge-ass ship like a toy. Got into port in Jacksonville, Fla on Saturday morning, made it to Va. Beach that evening, being chased by Sandys rain and wind for 9 hours. Spent today getting to the Washington DC area (wife in a nursing contract here). Chased by rain and wind. I guess we will ride out the next several days in the hotel (hospital for her). Maybe, the weather will clear and I can catch a plane back to Bama sometime this weekend????

Nothing good out of this witch for me to celebrate, for sure!

Just heard from my uncle. Had five feet of water on the first floor. Siding is warping. Boat gone, dock smashed by some other boat there. Yard scoured and left with debris. Both cars gone. Sewers backed up. Nearby houses burned down. 114 looters arrested, so far. No power. 6 to 6 curfew. His last description, "total devastation".
All the family is fine, besides.
