To ALL my NY and LI friends...please be safe and stay inside.....
As of this morning they said by the time it hits NY is will probably (unless something changes) be down graded to a category 1, which is good news since the ground is so wet already (8-10" in the past week) they expect a lot of trees (fully leaved) to come down, which means a lot of power outages...so the smaller this storm is the better...
AFTER this......AFTER the roof job....AFTER things calm down....I WILL get my laptop and be back in business!!
Number one son had an accident on the way home from work yesterday...he is ok...has a fractured sternum (contusion) and assorted bruises....gets a week off work....but most likely will need a new car. The car he was driving was old...had no collision on it, and although it still runs, it only drives 30mph now, and no head lights....bad front end damage...we have to think about whether it is worth fixing or letting it go...
I will have to prepare the property for the coming storm Sunday, today, while I tackle the insurance stuff with him.
(he isn't feeling so great right now..I know it will be both of us going back and forth with people on the phone over this all day!) But he is going away for the weekend (leaving tonight), and if we lose power he won't be able to do the insurance stuff next week..so he needs to do it now...(he should do it now anyway)
Thankfully he is not seriously hurt...and no one else was either (3 cars were involved)
(his BD is Monday!)
WOW! Earthquake and hurricane in the same week!
so be safe everyone....Talk to you later...

Oh Janie, I'm so sorry about your son! And praying that the hurricane damage is minimal!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness he is okay! You guys be careful in this storm.

Fortunately for us the storm damage was minimal. (Gloria was far worse) This is just the beginning of hurricane season for us! Maybe the rest will all miss us and the whole coast...
ReplyDeleteMy son seems to be doing alright. He has the rest of the week off...
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers...driving around here is getting so scary. They just keep building, but this is an island..there's no where else to go, we can't spread out...they have eaten up as much farm lands as the governments have allowed them to get away with..I know building and growth is progress, but I hope it stops soon...
