A Bitch Called Sandy

General
As much as I loved partying with everyone at FurFright I decided to leave Sunday morning. I didn't have a chance to say goodbye to anyone. Throughout the entire convention I constantly thinking about what to do with this damn hurricane headed towards the northeast. I never called it quits on a convention before but this storm had me worried and I felt million times better when I got back home with my family. I'm glad I left early, I was able to get gas, food and headed straight home with no traffic or road closures.
When I got home I helped my dad board up the windows and then we waited. There wasn't much rain, but it was plenty of wind. The power kept going out all night. We had a ton food and flashlights so we were in pretty good shape. The only things that were damaged was a garbage can dented the fender on my VW Bug and a part of the gutter downspout came loose. That was it. Later on as I watched the news I found that I was one of the lucky ones. Seaside and Mantoloking NJ were wiped out from the storm. I live less than 15 min from both those areas. I saw the pictures and its really hard to grasp places like that being gone. They were places that have been part of my life and it will never be the same again. I haven't heard much about Point Pleasant so I'm hoping it wasn't hit as hard as Seaside and Mantoloking.
Thanks for everyone who was checking up on me via Twitter, FA and txt. I am alive and I still have my home! I hope everyone else is safe and well!

The bridge was the scariest part.. I remember how far it was from the water and to see water coming right underneath the bridge .. almost onto the road.. that freaked me out
Anyway I am glad you're ok and you survived this.
If you need to talk, just send me a message.
Oh well, nothin like a good game of monotony to pass the time
Thanks again for the tuna croissant!
Glad you're safe!
But the problem that remains here is Gas.... there's no place left around here with gas.
*Hug*
