Our neighborhood is full of old growth trees and we almost always loose power in storms. Luckily I had taken down two large trees this summer that were directly behind our bedrooms so I didn't have to worry about that. By Monday evening we were amazed and thankful to have pulled through with no damage and power still on. But as the images from NYC and New Jersey began pouring in, our hearts went out to those affected by the terrible flooding and destruction.
