Slowly after Sandy...


A quick check in since the storm.  Things have been crazy here in town.  We have power (yay) but half the town is still out.  :(  No school till Monday and Halloween is postponed.
Few pics...
Boat at the marina, sail doesn't look so good.

This is 2 days later and the finger piers are still under water.
And they are coming apart, I didn't walk on that. 

That box floated there from further up, the water was high
(it still is).  
Boat stuck on the piling.  There were a few stuck on docks.
Can't tell where water should stop and land begins.
When you tie the boat across the lagoon it helps protect it during
the rising and lowering of the surges.   
This boat was on a lift but it clearly didn't hold in the wind.  
Boats in the house 
Power lines down in the lake. 
This is the most devastating photo.  This is my friend's parent's and
grandparent's home.  50 years and they have never had water.  That was the bay,
but now you can't tell where one ends and the other begins.  Heartbreaking.

During the storm I did some sewing by flashlight, some cutting of fabric while wearing a headlamp and some knitting during the daytime... oh and drank plenty of wine with my sister who was evacuated.  Love her!
