Hurricane Central

Eileen - glad to hear that you're okay. I was starting to get concerned.

Alysser - so sorry to hear about your boyfriend's place. Who would have imagined that this storm would bring so much heartache and grief to so many people.

And to those in shelters or still without power - I pray for some sense of normalcy to return soon.

My granddaughter still hasn't been able to get back to her place - now they're saying maybe Tuesday. The university reopens on Wednesday and she has been displaced since the Friday before the storm hit when they had to evacuate. Don't know how all this is going to play out - and then another storm mid week too???

ChrisH,
On behalf of all the pets and their owners that have been affected and in some cases separated, thank you for posting this important information. I've sent this on to a friend who is involved with animal rescue and asked her to spread the word to the shelters her group works with to make sure the word gets out.

[ChrisH]

You are more than welcome, I only wish I could do something more tangible.

If you think it would be of help perhaps you could also pass the info in this link on to your friend.

Turns out we miscommunicated somehow! I thought my Boyfriend said HIS house was gone, he meant his neighbors, and he said he THOUGHT his would be. The township posted pictures of all the properties. His house is in one piece! His Grandma's car is also still there. He may be able to go back to get some stuff tomorrow.

Sending all the best to the PT'ers who have been affected by Sandy. We've never had to live through something like this so it's hard to comprehend the horrible damage we keep watching on the news. At worse we get power outages of a day and get snowed in for a couple of days but with snowblowers and tractors, payloaders, it doesn't take long to get out from under. But we never get the kind of hurricanes you get. I hope the predicted Nor'easter slips quietly into the ocena and loses force.

I was in Florida on vacation while all this was unfolding, but got reports from my catsitters. Other than my cats becoming totally neurotic during the storm, everything was OK at my place. Poor little boos couldn't wait for us to get home on Friday, and were velcro (tm) kitties all weekend! I hope all the folks without power get it back soon. A piece of good news about Wednesday's storm: it's supposed to track more easterly so the effects should be minimal.
