I truly know what it is like to "weather the storm". We headed for the basement around 1 am for the night. I think the cat really understood why we went down there. It is an awful thing to hear the winds, trees snapping and not know what is happening. Thank GOD we have a generator because our sump pump went all night and still is. If we did not have the generator, we would be down there right now bailing out buckets of water from a finished basement (UGH). We are hearing we will be without power for days. We have a lot of damage to our property but minor damage to the house. We cannot get out of our driveway because trees have snapped in two and are blocking our access. My husband is taking pictures and I will post later. Thank you all for your prayers, they worked and I hope never to go through something like this again. For all of you North of us, stay safe and I am praying for you.

I am pretty much in the middle if NYS and we are getting lots and lots of rain, some wind but it doesnt seem too bad right now. I am not sure what will come once the storm gets further up the coast of NY. I guess I expected lots of thunder and lightening but none yet if thats what you get with a hurricane.
