We were lucky.
We didn't lose power--except for a few seconds of flickering lights.
There was a potential of losing sewage treatment but the plants were only closed for about two hours last night.
Jeff and I had never been more prepared.We have a gas stove and figured we would make meals that would be easy to heat up such as a turkey breast, chili and soup. We also made carrot-jicama salad. We stocked up on batteries, got out our radios, flashlights and candles. Late last night, we filled vases, trashcans, pots, etc. with water. We figured the bucket we had previously filled would not sustain us through a closed sewage plant.
I'll say it again; we were lucky.
Many other areas of Connecticut were not.
What can I say about the Jersey Shore? It's been devastated--I worry about my cousin Barbara's home in Ortley Beach. Her house may have been pushed out onto the state highway.
Why have we had so many devastating storms in the past few years?
Can it possibly be the result of climate change?
It's only a myth according to many Republicans.
