Hurricane Central

[Alysser]

I was worried for awhile because my Boyfriend didn't know where he was going to go and he lives in Lavalette, about a block from the beach. He went to his Brother's house in PA with his grandma though, so all good there. My family is as ready as possible, I think. Mikey is already starting to act strange.

It's supposed to hit land right in my county. They said the name of a really close town to mine on the news. My mom is freaking out, especially over the power.

Thank y'all for the concern - much appreciated. At this moment nothing (and I mean NOTHING) is happening. I just got off the phone with my brother in Connecticut and this may sound strange; we were raised in RI and have been through our share of storms (on and off the water). Both of us said the same thing. This one's not raising the hair on the back of my neck. Maybe we're both wrong, hope not. I'm sure there will be plenty of wind and rain, but I think we'll be fine.

I hope you all will be safe! It's sounds like it could do quite a bit of damage. All flights from Denmark to New York have been cancelled.

Watching the news on hurricane Sandy over here. Looks so scary, hope everyone will be safe!

Flights from Germany to the East Coast have been cancelled also.

You're right Maggie - been thru a lot worse storms growing up in RI. What concerns me about this one, is the length of time it will be hanging around. It rained off and on all day yesterday, then settled in for continuous rain late yesterday afternoon. The whole state of DE is basically shut down at this point. Oh joy - no school for grandson and son and DIL's businesses are closed. It's gonna be a loooooong day and most likely tomorrow too. At least I hope the power stays on, but I'm not betting on that one, since it has already flickered off and then back on a couple of times this a.m.

To those in the path of Sandy, I hope that everybody is ready and will be safe too!
I am watching and listening to all the news I can find about this storm, and am crossing my fingers for all of you!!
This is in my prayers now:"Please let everybody be safe, humans and pets"
Take care dear PT-ers who are in the path of horrible Sandy....
