It would seem we have once more escaped serious harm from Mother Nature. Although not all were as lucky as we, certainly it could have been far worse, and the hype of the media caused more panic than was really good. Note, I do not say necessary, but good. There was so much panic in this area, people at the grocery store were shovong and cursing at each other over a quart of milk... so sad. None the less, it could have been very bad indeed, and it was bad enough for very many people. Those of us who suffered neither the loss of power, nor injury, nor property damage are thanking God (or whatever) that we are in that category.
There was nasty wind here, and lots of rain, and in the morning I saw lots of leaf trash, small branches and even big branches down, but not even one tree on my way to work. No one near me lost power, but in the city and just a little away there were plenty of losses. All of my friends but one are accounted for, and I am very thankful. The one probably doesn't have power, and I hope to reach her soon.
