Some Hurricane Sandy Humor

I sure am glad I am not in New York City right now… With Hurricane Sandy about to strike, the city appears to be virtually shut down. There were lines out the door at grocery and wine stores yesterday, and people are making sure they are prepared.
As I mentioned yesterday, we’ve been staying in southern New Hampshire until our house is ready, and it sounds like we are going to avoid a direct hit from Hurricane Sandy. We are still expecting some rough weather (rain and wind), but hopefully it won’t end up being too bad.
Here’s a funny sign advertising ark curtains from the Linen & Shade Bin, a store that sells window treatments in New Hampshire.
If you are in the path of Hurricane Sandy, I hope you make it through without any damage.

Don’t mean to be nosey, but are you out of NYC for good?

Yep…. time to move to a house with a backyard… NYC is great, but not the best for raising kids.

Err, nevermind. Just read your “Sunday updates” post and you’re moving to Mass.
Reading comprehension was never my thing

Lol…
I’m still stuck in NYC and can’t get out until Friday. We were supposed to leave last night and everything is shut down. Even Starbucks closed at 5pm yesterday!

At least you still have a signal and can read blogs. Is Starbucks open today? THAT is a crisis!

Lol, EVERYTHING is closed! We’re stuck with hotel coffee and snacks we picked up at a local store. Eerie feeling out here, it’s so quiet. I’m across from Madison Square Garden and there’s normally a lot going on.
Elliot’s lucky he got out of here when he did!

Power is out here in southern New Hampshire.

Power is still on in mid town, but it’s very windy.

18 dead. If that number stays in the low double digits it is a triumph of modern preparedness and the weather station getting the word out.

Starbucks on the main floor of the Marriott Marquis on West 45th Street is open! I’d be making the trek there . . . anything in Manhattan is only a good stretch of the legs away!

I just got out of NYC yesterday morning and the city was still in recovery mode. Times square was back to normal, but all subways from Brooklyn to 34th were still closed. Power was out on most of the east side. We took a cab at night from Midtown to JFK and half the drive was pitch black.
