Glad to know you and yours are okay... and that your electricity is back on... you would be missed on the QB!

Glad you are safe.

We just sent our youngest to college in NY. Then the earthquake in Virginia happen and now hurricane Irene. All that can make a parent nervous.

My sister is in CT and they are still without power. She loves to knit so she is staying busy. She makes all my socks!

Glad to hear that you are OK. My NJ relatives are OK too. I know there have been some losses but it could easily have been worse. I feel for those who did lose family members or homes, etc.

Yeah! Glad you're safe.

I used to get nervous even without all these "disasters"... I liked to see my son tucked in his bed every night... but (sigh) they all grow up... they even learn how to take care of themselves... LOL ... and that becomes a very very good feeling... rest assured he will do fine.

Happy to see that you made it through without severe damage. I am waiting to hear from a friend in NJ to see how she did.

Hi Everyone
I'm here in Pa, very close to NJ- "just over the Delaware River"
We lost power Saturday and never got it back till Sunday night. No cable for TV or computers from Saturday till MOnday around 4pm. Trees uprooted power lines down, roads closed. We had some water come in right through the windows Saturday late evening due to the wind.
In my area we also went under a tornado watch/warning for about 5 hours on Saturday. Lowest level of the house, etc. Within about a week an earthquake, hurricane and tornado!
Thanks to everyone for thoughts and prayers. We really expected worse but were spared.
I'm also heard from the radio that "caravans" from other states (tree trimers, power company employees, etc) came up to help us along with individuals driving up ( mentioned a guy from Indiana). Perhaps some of you on the board knew someone who came to help. I just want to say thank you to everyone who came and are here to help. You left your homes and families to help us. May God bless each and every one of you.
