Thanks. Surviving. 4.5 days off from work, but we are open tomorrow! Supermarkets getting restocked. Odd/even gas rationing in effect. Hour and forty five minutes to get fuel yesterday. Lots of traffic lights still out. But we are surviving. Thanks.

We just got power restored to our house yesterday (Monday the 5th). It was off from Monday to Monday, a full week. There has been a large amount of damage where we are in Sussex County, NJ, but fortunately, the trees surrounding our house managed to stay (mostly) standing, with no damage to us. Nearby homes were not so lucky. There are large numbers of trees down, and many power lines still down or dangling. A number of nearby streets are still closed. A large amount of cleanup remains to be done, with no help coming from the nor'easter forecast to hit the same area tomorrow.

 

As Harry mentioned, odd-even gas rationing is still in effect, although the long lines at gas pumps seemed to have abated. There are no generators or gas containers available in northern NJ and eastern PA.

Papa Bear - How did you do in all the craziness?

 

Also - for many years I have planned a trip back home to Long Island to see family and friends and benchmark hunt along the shore - my guess - MANY marks now lost forever!!!
