Still have power in central jersey, also have one tree on the roof and another cracked and ready to fall. Luckily, from a quick look doesn't appear to have much, if any, damage and everyone is safe.

Just got a text from Johnny:
"No Power. Trees Down. Power lines down. My house is almost flooded. I'm ok."

Lots of trees uprooted and wires down here in eastern PA. Power was out for about 12 hours - making for some nervous waiting with our 3 sump pumps knocked out. Thankfully the worst of the rain skirted around us and the basement did not flood (where most of my bulk cards were).

Lost a few shingles off the roof and was up there this morning doing a patch job until the roofer arrives.

Hope everyone is safe and your cards are dry!

We're in Valley Stream on the South Shore of Long Island. Miraculously, we have power. Two streets up they don't. Just luck, I guess. Very, very grateful. Newsday says LIPA has 82% of its customers on LI with no power. That's incredible. Wouldn't surprise me if it was two weeks for some people to get power back. Trees down everywhere, streets flooded, it's a mess.

I grew up in W.Va. and went through a horrific flood in 1985. 40-some people died in my state alone and we lost our house and my father's newspaper. We were actually running for my parents' vehicles as the water was rushing down the street. Missed a month of school, had no power for days and days and spent weeks digging out our possessions (what was left of them). Not a pleasant experience. Prayers are with those who've been hit hard by this storm.

Thanks for the update Erick, I'm glad he's ok. I know if he's ok his cards are going to be ok too

For everyone who took major damage, that sucks, but I'm glad you all are alive !!! I can't imagine going through a storm like this, and having to deal with a totally flooded home. I wish the best for all of you.

Jamie- so sorry to hear what you have had to endure. Just a couple of weeks ago we were all reveling in your good fortune, and 15 minutes of fame. Now life has taken a cruel turn. I'm very sorry for it.

I grew up in Cedarhurst, also on the south shore of Long Island. I wonder how much damage occurred over there?

[t206blogcom]

Jamie - So sorry for your loss! Glad to hear your wife and you (and the cards) are safe and out of harms way. Hang in there, you'll get through this. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Jamie, Glad you and your wife got out ok. My best as you sort out the next few weeks or months.

Still waiting to hear when we will actually be able to get back onto Long Beach Island to assess the actual damage to our shore house. We know at least that it is still standing since we saw it last night on a local newscopter flyover. We have heard that there was five feet of water on our street, which means the entire first floor of our house (including a brand new kitchen ) is toast. The picture below is from high tide Monday morning before the storm rolled in.

The picture after that is part of our adventure at our regular home. A 60 foot pine just snapped in the wind like a matchstick. Fortunately, it couldn't have fallen at a better angle if a tree surgeon did it. No damage to fence or house. Still without power/cable/Internet. We have a generator, but gas is getting very hard to come by.
