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.
