hope you were prepared! We get the hurricanes but never followed by cold weather. We can live without the electricty because we are used to hot weather. It's uncomfortable but at least it's bearable.

I just learned that at least 100 people were found dead in their homes on one street on Staten Island, NY, due to flooding from the hurricane. That really surprised me. I used to drive through Staten Island while traveling to and from Long Island across the Verrazano Bridge, and an old girl friend of mine had relatives living on Staten Island. I', REALLY glad we left New York.

I had not heard that. How high was the storm surge?

I think it was 20 feet. It destroyed many homes, and Staten Island was one of the hardest areas hit. When things like this happen in places I used to live near, it hits home. Sure glad we left NY back in 1999.
