~ the day after Frankenstorm
Does anyone need a briefing on
SANDY the STORM that the
East Coast endured?? I’m going to assume
everyone knows about it unless you tell
me otherwise ……
|
|
This was on the news Monday night.
As you can see……
No one was going anywhere during the storm
|
|
|
|
The day after the storm…… quite ominous skies
& strangely quiet. We didn’t endure much
damage at our house other than losing a few shingles,
Cable TV, Internet & landline
We couldn’t even get the Internet on
our smart phones! Really strange.
|
|
|
|
|
We had a visitor to our backyard Bird Buffet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chester & I ventured out to assess the damage
in our neighborhood. We first came across this.
|
|
|
|
some scattered porch furniture —
that really should have been put away!
|
|
|
|
|
Who needs a mailbox anyway????
|
|
|
|
|
leaning tree of Ivyland – a new visitor attraction
|
|
|
|
WELL — if you need any help with your damages
call or email neighbor Don Martin
|
|
|
|
later Michael, Me & the dogs walked over to
the old part of town to see what was going
on there.
|
|
|
|
First encounter was an uprooted tree.
The owner was quite pleasant about the
whole incident! Free Firewood he said –
come chop your own!
|
|
|
|
|
The tree fell on the cars but missed the house
|
|
|
|
Camera crews coming to take pictures of Chase Street.
Lots of damage there – it looked like a war zone.
I was happy to only be out Cable service –
these people have it WAY WORSE!!!
No electricity for probably at least a week!
|
|
|
|
THIS was the problem – the transformer
laying in the street
|
|
|
|
oh – and the trees laying on the power wires
added fun to the whole debacle.
|
|
|
|
Then I saw this little guy in our yard & knew it
was going to be a GREAT DAY!!!
(see the Cardinal???)
|
|
|
|
With no Internet to distract me I was able to
get a lot of homework done!!!
see? every adversity has a benefit!
|
|
|
|
a photo from the seashore —
they now have a pond in their yard
& comes stocked with sharks…..
|
|
|
|
SO MANY people were out of power so every
restaurant that had power was BUSY.
Even Burger King had a line out the door!
We wanted to get out & acess Wi-fi.
I’m so Internet addicted…..
