6. Mass!

Right before my cell died a friend called to say we are closed tomorrow while the clean up was done.
There were others far more in harms way than me. However it was pretty scary here.

8. 8 hours,, not bad......

That is as opposed to the people that believe Romney. They have been in the dark since day one of his campaign.

12. No Candles and flashlight for reading?

Once you've been in a hurricane you tend to keep those items handy in case the electricity goes out again for extended periods of time. We had a tsunami evacuation warning Sat Night..I had an overnight bag ready with flashlight, book, laptop, etc. Fortunately the tsunami didn't come from the Earthquake in Canada.

Hope everyone is safe and the Storm, Sandy, subsides ASAP.

However enough about me. Glad u are safe too! What a week huh. So glad we aren't experiencing any Climate Change! LOL

15. Hour and 1/2 of darkness and cold here.

Glad I wasn't born over 150 years ago when there wasn't any electricity. How could they live like that?

17. Despite Romney's ignorance ...hurricaine do hit Ohio...Sand came calling last night

I am in Cortland Ohio and the wind and rain came last night still windy and rainy...no power most of the night but back by this morning...schools closed and people urged not to travel. We are about 45 minutes from Lake Erie...so I don't know if this is going to cause more trouble.
