What a day, been on the go since early this morning, just got home, totally burnt out!!!

Getting two buildings powered up with generators and hunting Diesel for one and gas for the other. We have perishable stuff that needs elec.

My house is ok except no power along with 85% of Long Island in the dark for 7-10 plus days.

Two of my other sons homes are ok, one has power.

Can't say the same for my other sons home on the bay, his bulkhead washed out behind he lost truck loads of sand, he had a pool in the backyard, gone washed away.

He sent us cell movies, it is unbelievable, they had a terrible night for them each wave vibrated the house so much they felt severe vibrations under their feet, the waves were washing across his lawn.

A lot of the damage is un-insurable, his foundation may be compromised from water. He was so burned out when the bridges opened up off LI he went to Foxwoods casino to unwind and sleep in a dry bed. Only to get a flat on the way there.

I'm going to sleep a bit and get back early in the morning.

The rest of LI is like a war zone as is NJ.
