Well, it's here. As I write this Sandy is battering the place, making a noise that is truly frightening, and I'm writing as fast as I can as the lights keep blinking, a sure sign that pretty soon we will probably lose power altogether.
As we look at the TV (while we still can), it amazes me that there are still people driving around as the wind is howling, I guess it was a good idea for our mayor and the MTA to stop all subway and buses, and LIRR and Metro North service at 7 PM yesterday, otherwise you would have a lot of people with no common sense what-so-ever getting in harm's way.
Right now the storm is beginning to get intense, and all we hope is that people we know, friends and relatives, are taking the proper precautions, and made their preparations and stay indoors. We bought what we needed on Friday, stuff such as batteries, candles, flashlights, and battery-powered radios. Now we are just waiting.
As the lights momentarily all went out twice already, I think I best start getting off the computer and prepare, the storm is getting closer and I think that soon we will not have any electricity.
