After much warning and hype about "Frankenstorm 2012," we were ready to hunker down and expect the worst for a few days. They cancelled school on Monday and by that afternoon the wind and rain really started to pick up. Hurricane Sandy made landfall just north of us in New Jersey on Monday night but we were fortunate enough to be spared from any damage.
Here's what our backyard looked like around 9 p.m. on Monday, October 29th...
We had some pretty good gusts throughout the night but fortunately we all slept pretty well despite the howling wind.
This is what our neighborhood looked like on Tuesday morning. A small swimming pool in the lot next door and an unfortunate trampoline that had bit the dust (we were fortunate that our trampoline, playset and patio table were all undamaged.)
By the time we woke up, the wind was barely a breeze and the rain had died down to just a trickle. We fortunately had no flooding in our area and never lost power. Our hearts go out to those who sustained much more damge than we did and especially to those who lost their lives. We sure are glad that Sandy is out of here now!!

Glad you were safe. It is quite an ordeal and lots of suspense and wonder isn't it. We have gone through a couple of those now.
