It's been a wild weather week for the east coast. First the earthquake and now the hurricane. It'll be a week to remember!

I hope everyone stays safe!
My husband and I are native Californians, but he just spent the last 3 weeks in New York, for work then a short family visit. He was in Manhattan when the recent earthquake hit there - ho hum, no big deal. LOL Then the last few days he was in upstate New York to visit his brother/brother's wife and kids, and he just flew home today. I was a nervous wreck, watching the news way too much. But he kept telling me they were much more inland at his brother's and would all be fine. I'll stick with earthquakes!

Let us know how you are Sally.
We seem to have made it through here in NJ, although we should still get more winds and rain this afternoon from the back side. I think we had about 10 inches of rain. We had the worst of it late last night and in the middle of the night and boy was it scary. Luckily we still have power (knock on wood) although many in my town do not. There is also a travel ban in our whole county.
Plus we had an earthquake on Tuesday. What a strange week.
My lower back feels a little weird this morning, but I thought it was becaue 12-year old daughter was squeezed in bed with us last night because she was scared.__________________________________________

I hope everyone is safe. I hope Jess reports in.
I am in Raleigh. I only saw one tree down and although we didn't get that much wind or rain, our power was out about 12 hours!!! Very annoying. Worst part was one of my microswine is on meds and it warmed up a little in the fridge. I hope it is okay.

I also hope Sally's okay. What an unpleasant night .. multiple tornado warnings, sheets of rain and howling winds but miraculously the power stayed on. And Debbe .. our 15-year-old daughter AND the dog slept with us...!
I notice that my back always feels terrific if I'm stressed and the adrenalin's flowing...it's a natural pain-killer. No aches or pains at all. If only I could tap into that energy when things are calm!Chris

I don’t think the fridge is the way to go. The oven would work better. A microwave would help with core temp. 1 second? Just kidding. He he
I’m sure everyone is ok, a little wet behind the ears, but ok.

Sharon, I did not know that you lived in Raleigh. Before I moved to Ca , I lived in Hickory NC. Glad to hear that you are all right except for the power being out.
Hope your microswine is Ok

I knew you moved west from NC but I didn't recall you mentioned where in NC.
My Poppy will be okay. And I hope you are recovering well. Hopefully this next op will be the hot ticket and you will be done with surgery.
