No Drama

It is the morning after Hurricane Sandy made landfall in Connecticut and I am happy to report that all is well.  We lost some small branches, but no limbs and no property damage!  The schools and work were closed; the governor closed the highways at 1pm and our mayor put a curfew into effect from 8pm on Monday to 8am on Tuesday.  In our area, the winds gusted well over 60 mph into the evening last night; and when the wind wasn't blowing, it was eerily quiet.  Although our power flickered and went out several times during the day on Monday, we never lost it for more than a few moments.  Close to 600,000 homes in Connecticut are currently without power.  The images from the shoreline and New York City are simply stunning - we are certainly counting our blessings today.
