Hurricane Central

As of this morning, still no power at home since Monday evening. Basement is flooding though, 6-8 inches. Ready for the rainy days to be over.

Hope all of you without power get it back soon. Not only is it inconvenient, but it's gotten too cold out to not have any heat in the house.

Everything is pretty much back to normal here. The state bans have been lifted, and all schools and businesses are open with the exception of some along the coast. Now all we have to do at this house is clean up a ton of small dead branches that came down out of our trees, and put away all of our emergency supplies. It was great to not have to use any!

Just found out my boyfriend who lives a block from the shore (he's in pa now) thinks his house is flooded. He isn't positive but it seems inevitable at this point.

Hope they didn't have anything too important in the basement!

Power is on!!! I am so lucky and grateful! It may have been a bit of an inconvenience but hey I didn't loss my house! Life is good

ETA: Gov. Christie postponed Halloween till Monday Nov. 5th.

UPDATE: Power is back, and came back on Wednesday late afternoon. Things are back to normal. We got lucky with the basement, by the time we got home, the water was gone but just a few puddles here and there. We used the dehumidifier to help clear out the water as well. Last night we put bleach on the floor in the basement (it is unfinished, we have zero plans to rebuild and make it our own, we are wanting to find another house within the next couple years, this is only our starter home.) AND also, if you were wondering, the puppy WILL NOT be allowed down there as well so he will be blocked out from being able to go down there.
