It...Lizzy, so glad you are able to be at home now. It is a terrible feeling to be unable to go to your own home; living with friends or relatives gets old very quickly. <br />Luckily you did have good sea-grass dunes to break some of the surge. WE have beach-front residents here in Florida who refuse to allow the city to plant Sea Oats or dune grasses, because it may ruin their view (with no though to the fact that they might just save their home at some point in the future. ...duh)<br />Restoring power is a complex business. If there is one "weak link" in the connection it could be disastrous, and must be repaired before power can be restored. Still sad if they haven't found or repaired the weak links yet.<br />Best of luck to you and all others on the sea board as you continue to recover and restore your communities.<br />Wanda517Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-73578044630887500322012-11-08T06:38:58.925-05:002012-11-08T06:38:58.925-05:00I feel your pain and wonder why Christie isn't...I feel your pain and wonder why Christie isn't screaming or even in North Jersey in Morris county we need help! still thousands and thousands without power in our county and our town still has more that 60% I think its more then 75% without power it looked like a warzone in our town with all the trees down and you couldn't get around at all<br />and well the gas lines forced you to rethink even going out for a hot meal. <br />I feel your pain and am in the same boat....like someone said this is a National Disaster and makes Hurricane Katrina look like a thunderstorm.<br />the news is not even covering our area its all about south jersey....<br />and Obama now that he is not campaigning maybe he can visit again and go to different areas of the metropolitian area and see our devastaion and oh yes still NO power they are hoping by sunday at 1159 pm and yesterday they said 540 more people would have power on , nope not one....... sorry to vent but I knew you would understand :) hang in there <br />Kathie antique quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379983489980682690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-34584770561978143742012-11-06T20:06:26.095-05:002012-11-06T20:06:26.095-05:00I'm so glad your cats and mockingbirds are saf...I'm so glad your cats and mockingbirds are safe and your house intact.

So glad you are safe and I know when we...Hi Lizzy. So glad you are safe and I know when we got hit last year that it was a week or so before they could get everything up and running. We did not have the magnitude of devastation you did on Long Island, NYC and NJ. I think the area is just too big for them to be able to cover it all at once. Be patient. There are lessons here. You will learn them and be stronger. I will stick with you always.

There were three of them here in CO yesterday. Ye gods.<br /><br />Glad to here there's security for getting into the island, at least. <br /><br />And I hope the power situation is resolved SOON!<br /><br />Meanwhile, I so admire your perseverence in posting anything at all.<br /><br />Incredible pix!<br /><br />Lisse<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-75575310349120268482012-11-05T23:57:47.731-05:002012-11-05T23:57:47.731-05:00I hope power gets restored to your area soon, I kn...I hope power gets restored to your area soon, I know it sucks when you live in an all-electric house. Our furnace is gas but it won't work without electricity, either! I guess it pays to have a backup plan. I suppose they're fixing the power to the more heavily populated areas first? Or maybe they're having to go from where power IS and working their way back into the damaged area? It would be nice if they would give updates on that sort of thing.<br /><br />I've been reading about the progress made in NYC. They announced the subways were almost all running so people could get to work -- and I'm wondering - where do they work that will run without electricity? Cities confuse me!<br /><br />I'll be thinking of you, hoping your power is back on soon! Glad to see the beach and house and kitties are fine. Good luck! Stay warm and dry!<br /><br />~MelodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-57943054007907282852012-11-05T21:24:50.459-05:002012-11-05T21:24:50.459-05:00Oh my dear!

It and your kitties will wait for you. Hopefully you will be back soon. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. KitKithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821207596562393224noreply@blogger.com
