In the general terms it would be safe to say that somehow the storm missed us. How we're not sure. Other than dealing with a generally crummy day yesterday, our power & cable stayed on, and we had no ill effects. However many around us in Baltimore county have no power..Last update was about 47,000 customers out. Of course down on the Eastern Shore they got badly kicked in the teeth, and many spots heading up the bay had serious troubles. Not quite sure what spared us, but we are certainly thankful for it.
All of the various schools, government offices, and many businesses are closed today. Most Baltimore hospitals dropped their "alert" status at 8am this morning and miracle of miracles our mailman showed up at his usual time, even though it was reported yesterday that there would be no mail service until at least Wednesday.
Unfortunately so many, many people in NJ & NY are in dire straits. My brother lives in Boston, and they were having a much tougher go than we were.
