Hurricane Sandy

We have been without power since Monday when the hurricane came through.

It was horrible.

The wind was so fierce and our house was shaking all night.

We knew something was going on with the roof, we just couldn't find out until morning.

Part of the shingles blew off and part of the siding.

We do have water damage inside our bedroom.

Also, on our back porch, the ceiling is coming down, but that shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Here is a photo of my Colonel and son trying to get a tarp nailed down to the roof

to keep the rain from doing any further damage...

I'm at the university where my hubby works tonight to shower and finally get on line.

The house is getting cold, about 50 degrees during the day.

We expect to be without power for another 2 - 3 days.

I hope you all are doing okay!

Let me know how you all are doing.

I'll try to be back as soon as the power returns.

I hope that everything is back to normal now. Sandy caused a lot of damage to homes and properties. Many individuals suffered home wreckage. Anyway, how is your roof now? Were there any other damage aside from the blown-off shingles and siding? I hope you got it fixed right away to prevent the damage from worsening and becoming more costly to repair. [Willene Fagen]

I feel for you. We managed to keep power but friends all around us lost it and we've been trying to help them. What a horrific storm!

So glad to know that you are well. Roofs can be repaired. Hope that once that furnace kicked on, you got nice and warm to the core. You'll have to share your survival tips.

So glad to hear that you are all safe! Must be awful to be without power but you still have a home - we cannot begin to fathom the destruction of Sandy. In N. Ireland we get nothing as severe.
God bless
Christine

Hi Lois,
Been praying for you since I saw your Facebook update. So sorry you have to deal with this, but so thankful you're all ok.
Continued prayers for you and all who have been impacted by the storm.
Hugs and love,
Becky
