Yep that title gets all Caps! I don't really feel like saying much about it other than we got EXTREMELY lucky! Other than the entire neighborhood's leaves piling up in our entry and driveway (10 lawn and leaf bags and 2 trashcans worth), a 16 hour power outage, and the internet being down for 3 days we had no real catastrophes. And with hurricane strength winds, tons of our neighbors sustained some serious damage. The neighborhood has really come together though and things are looking better. Here are some pictures but they really don't do it justice:
Ya, we had to dig our way out with a snow shovel lol!
The Cemetery was heartbreaking, almost 3 out of 4 tree's were down
This is one of the cart keepers at WalMart!

Wild times! So glad you & your reptilian children had Eli's place for a safe haven..
ReplyDeleteWas it weird collecting all those leaves and putting them in leaf bags for a dump instead of the wheelbarrow and putting them into the compost pile like back at home?!?
Remember all those power outages when we'd light the lanterns & candles and cuddle up to the woodstove for cooking and warmth? We sure don't envy you losing power in the big city.. glad your area was restored sooner than later & that Richard made it home from work before the worst of storm!
Heartbreaking seeing all those downed trees :(
