The Storm

 
Random pics by me and from friends. Unorganized, mostly unedited.


This was a difficult storm because of all the overblown media coverage and barrage of local alerts on phone and computer. Lots of tale about Hurricane Sadly 2. Frightening bec Sandy was one of the most  terrifying experiences of my life, maybe more so than the live real time watching of the WTC attacks. [wiser weather person quoted below:]


But really, yes power failure and a bit cold, but ''just another rainy weekend", in all honesty. And the wind blown salt spray has killed all the zinnies and cosmos.

Storm incoming:




Surreal pre-storm sunsets, the low sun shining under the edge of the huge storm's clouds

Saturday, Sunday









Monday aftermath, near surfing beach to my west.





Monday as storm finally cleared, my house view of final sunset.


And soon, October. It was so grey, so dismal, I started earlier than usual.  Sunny days ahead though.
