Hurricane Sandy

Well, we managed to weather the storm.  We found out this morning that we were only a block away from being evacuated last night.  We took a walk this morning to see the damage.  The Hudson flooded the West Side HWY at the end of our street all the way up to the Chinese Consulate building on 12th Ave. and the 45th ST. Pier at the end of our street is buckled as a result of the power of the flooding.  Unbelievable.  We are very fortunate that we didn't lose power and saw no other damage as lower Manhattan has seen.  We won't know for days yet about upstate.  Apparently, they didn't have a lot of rain and no flooding but there was tree damage and until we can get out of the city with mass transit shut down - we won't be able to get to the house for awhile.
