Well, as I have reported to you all yesterday - My town had been rocked by the storm pretty bad. We are still with out power and the water is still contaminated. Boiling water is a must! A lot of homes were damaged by trees due to this area being well known for its woods. We are high up with older trees which means that the roots of these trees are not deep in the ground but spread sideways across the ground so they were knocked over by the wind easily especially since the ground has been soaked from all the wet snow we've had up here as well. News 12 New Jersey had featured some of my pictures that I have taken!
In my house, were lucky to have heat since my step-father is crazy and created a way with a bunch of RV batteries hooked up to my car charging them constantly to all the right things to get the heat going in the house and switch it on and off from heat to charging the fridge. Its hard to explain, I don't even know how he did it. Genius though!
I have my Computer-Applications class tonight. I hope most of the roads are cleared now. In this area there are road blocks all over including my street. Local cops patrolling at night, its insane! Neighbors asking neighbors for help due to flooding in basements and or asking if they have extra bottled water - its almost a mini emergency zone!
Last night by candles and lanterns I completed reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. Man, does he know how to make you cry! Seriously, I know he's a very talented writer and yes his stories all have things in common but the end is always a surprise! And boy was I shocked! I love the ending in this book! It is a amazing worth while read! I will post a blog about the book with details another time. I must get ready to go out! Be safe out there!
