The rougher stuff started hitting here around 3pm. It has gotten very windy and the rain is cold. When I got home around 6pm my body was soaked to the bone. I did have dry feet though. As I write the winds are picking up and Tomorrow is another day.

I just heard on CNN that the "Famed" Atlantic City Boardwalk has been washed away.

Earlier in the week, it was widely reported that 2013 would bring a “bacon shortage,” as rising pork prices would eventually drive up demand for bacon to the point where it would be almost impossible to find. However, even after falling for the story themselves, NBC News is reporting that the bacon shortage is hogwash. Yet it seems that the price of bacon is continually rising, according to my wife.
This is Hurricane Sandy in Cleveland yesterday. Lake Erie has expanded..........

So far, there are no less than 38 fatalities in the US alone. One death is a lot.

Do you actually think before you post something?
If that inconsequential 38 included your children, or someone else from your family, would you think it was "nothing"? Nothing?

A lady lost her life in Toronto after being hit in the head with a flying street sign.
Do you actually read what is posted Ted? "considering the population density of the affected area"

Unfortunately my electric has been out since last night. A tree fell on the wires going to my house and although the power is back on all around me I still don't have any juice. Blah. Luckily I was able to borrow a generator to keep the fridge cold.
I'm glad the site is hosted in Texas! I'll be back in full swing shortly.
