I suspect he's OK.

We haven't heard from T's sister that lives on the south shore of LI either.

Nassau county didn't evacuate. I hope it wasn't a deadly error.

edit...

we just got news that T's sister is safe and that it seems they did leave...smart move.

That is great news!

Im doing just fine. thanks for the the thought though!

I was out there for a bit and theres just a ton of flood damage. This one is going to cost everyone a ton of money since the city was effectively locked out for 2 days.

I've got a ton of friends that got hit hard, most of it is in the wallet, which is better than a loss of life, but the city is already in trying times and its going to be pretty bad for a while here.

There is going to be a ton of used cars flooding the market.

fixed for correctness as I have seen it....insurance auctions and junkyards will be scrambling to sell these cars to people looking to fix em and clean and sell em without disclosing the real extent of the damage...

It sounds like 80% of L.I. still doesn't have power.

When I look at those pics I can't helping wondering where all the rats have fled to.  Downtown should be teeming with them, no?

[muskrat]

lets hope they all drowned and the long believed, never seen, alligator is having a feast.

I'm sure they had a plan in place and are high and dry, fully ready to return in force.

I can't say for sure about the rats, but their cousins the squirrels are doing quite well.  They have been making up for lost time digging up my lawn

T said she saw pics of them leaving the tunnels and seeking higher ground on railings etc...

don't worry...there will be no shortage of rats.

edit...

On a side note, the wind was worse here last night than Monday.

Zeke's trampoline is in the middle of the field. The enclosure is toast. I'm just glad it didn't go the other way...into the new house
