We made it through both Superstorm Sandy and Winter Storm Athena fine. Sandy we got a bit of wind, a couple downed trees and the top half of our town lost power due to a tree taking out power lines, but we got lucky and kept our power. This last storm, Athena, we got little to no wind, rain mixed with ice and a couple of snowflakes, but nothing stayed on the ground or grass for long, but it did get damn cold. No power outages here, thankfully.
There was damage along the Delaware coast, from Slaughter Beach down to Ocean City, MD they got severely battered when Sandy took that sudden turn to the left and slammed inland. The newly refurbished Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, which was just finished in August was wiped out, as were a lot of other places. The tidal surge exceeded their predictions, mainly due to the full moon and the strength of the storm. All the news outlets have been talking about New Jersey, New York and Connecticut and not saying anything about the destruction of the towns and cities in Delaware and Maryland. All I ask is that thoughts and prayers be sent for those affected out here, as well as those who had to deal with the storm that just blew through here yesterday and are still dealing with Athena currently are safe and sound and will stay warm.
When I have more time, I will explain why I have been not around a lot lately, but do know that I love my family and miss you all very much. -hugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggles-
