The Hurricane

The hurricane, 

named Sandy came our way 

and being near Halloween it has been called 

Frankenstorm. 

It is windy, 

but I have certainly seen windier. 

It is rainy, 

but I have certainly seen rainier. 

But then, the storm is not over yet
so who knows what will happen.
I am writing this Monday night,
by the time you read this we will probably be cleaning up branches. 

I am just thankful I do not live in a low lying area. 

We do not typically have to worry about flooding.  

What a relief. 

But we do usually have tall trees that fall due to wind damage. 

We still have concerns about that. 

Pretty much everything has been shut down for two days. 

Schools, airports, public transportation, shopping...

We are pretty much housebound waiting to see what comes our way.
Looking for things to do...anything to do.

They say rainy Mondays are the worst...

but something about this one seems exceptional.
