O/T Sandy

Hey guys. After seven (7) days without power I finally got my power on.

My front porch collapsed and I lost my entire gutter system. But after driving around my neighborhood I feel fortunate that I didn't lose more.

Fortunately, I have a wood-burning stove that I used for heat and to heat canned foods.

Now we have a Nor Easter to deal with. I hope everyone stays safe.

Hey Chris
Glad to hear you are back up and running and were not as affected as some others. Here is hoping everyone else gets back to normalcy as soon as possible.

Right now it's snowing in NY and the snow is sticking. And we're due for 50 MPH winds in a couple of hours. I feel terrible for the people who don't have appropriate shelter because of the hurricane. Now they're getting hit again.

Thank you, Leon, but it' quite a mess here. And I lost power for another 23 hours during the Nor Easter that just hit us. Just got power back on.

Johnny,

I realize we don't know each other; however, still wanted to send along my best wishes to you and yours during this difficult time. Sounds like you've been through quite a bit...glad to see that you're hanging in there.

Best Regards,

I am on the Jersey Shore and that snow yesterday was heavy. We had power lines laying on the street due to the heavy snow.

My kudos to the JCP&L workers on the ground who have spent long hours dealing with dangerous situations.

My purchasing a wood burning stove ten years ago was the best investment I ever made, too. Heat, light and I can cook on it.

I had those snow "bombs" all day today.

I drove past Deal Lake (my favorite lake to fish) in Asbury Park and was awestruck by the devastation. I got very emotional seeing the destruction.

But, of course, it's the people that I feel for most. Families who lost loved ones; homes destroyed. It's all very emotional when you are right next to the families that have been affected. We will recover.

If you live in the tri-state area and weren't affected, then consider yourself fortunate and lucky. I lost power for a total of nine (9) days, lost a front porch and my gutter system and consider myself "lucky."
