I know the storm is hitting hard, but for all of you like the great Brasi from New York, I hope it's not too bad and that you're able to calm yourselves with warm thoughts of beautiful Negril.
Negril is where my thoughts go in times of trouble -- particularly when I am in Jamaica, ha ha -- so please check in when you can (power out in lot of places) and let us know all is good in the hood.
One Love.
We are on the ct shoreline...we're ok...no power, no trees down in the yard but many down other places...lots of destruction from flooding at the immediate shoreline. Close to 700,000 people without power in ct alone...
Lorax2, glad you're okay!
Gerry...you...trouble...in Jamaica, nah, hard to believe.Quote:

West of Boston not bad. Breeze blew, rain fell hard, power still out, but Vasillia baked lots of cookies before we lost power.
Her kids are enjoying beating me at backgammon and chess now that their smart phones are dead!! Haven't told them I have a car charger yet!!! :) Maybe if they let me win a game or two...
It was pretty cool heating up left overs on top of the wood stove last night. I told the kids it was an "Old School" Microwave!
I hung green glow sticks around the house and the kids thought it was a bit spooky....
The no power thing will definitely grow stale tonight.
Enjoy,

Philadelphia pretty much spared as the eye passed right over us and most of the destruction was on either side of the eye. Not nearly as bad as they were predicting for this area, at least.
I got to live through Hurricane Sandy twice!!! First time was last Wednesday in Negril and now back home. Also west of Boston. Power came back earlier today. Glad we have a generator. BTW Gerryg - We had a great time at Bentley's. Full trip report soon come.
Hay Happy, never lost power in the Capital of Halloween (Salem, Ma), boat put away all good there, Halloween all go for tomorrow, city expecting extra 100,000 people!Friends came back from Ochie last Fri, got a week free from resort for one day of storm there!
Gerry. Atlantic city area did not do too well. We are about 15 minutes from ac and we have no power and trees down, but our shore areas are devastated. So many homes ruined. Parts of the boardwalk and piers are gone. Really sad. Beaches took quite a hit also. No cable but from what i hear up and down the east coast shore communities are devastated. I worry in jamaica about hurricanes, don't think we could see that kind of damage here :)
Al, did you remember to put up the top on your convertable??? LOL
Going to be a busy day in Salem, MA.
My best to Lulu.

North jersey here, got hammered. 200 plus trees down on my farm. No power since Sunday. Will be another 2 weeks without power. Might be stinky for our nov 17 flight to Jah.
