It isn't very often that a hurricane actually hits New Jersey head on, but one did hit us last Monday, October 29th. The eye actually went right over our house. We felt the intense wind before, felt the literal calm in the center, and then felt the wind pick up again. Fortunately, most of us in it's direct path did not receive terrible damage, but those in northern New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut were not so lucky. There are still some whose power has not yet been restored. We got everything ready, but never lost power at all. What a blessing!!! It is now our turn to try to help those most affected by this terrible storm. Here are some photos from around here....
This little blurry squirrel was hunkered down in a tree outside our front window during the storm.

One of the trees we lost in the storm...this one just snapped right in half
Another tree down in the back
Some of our stake members in Atlantic City as part of the Mormon Helping Hands effort
Nate was there, too, but without the yellow tee shirt
Yay for the yellow shirts.
ReplyDeleteWe tried to buy a fence post the saturday after Sandy, and clearly, there are none around. No where. Makes sense. But we didn't think about it.
