We made it unscathed and I think my son pinned it down to we were right in  the path of the eye  and all the damage was south and north of the eye, lucky for us.

It did get very calm here around 10 pm last night and the worst that happened was the cover came partly off my sons car. :jump4jo":

I hope everyone made it through without loss to property and yourself.

I think the real travesty is that there is a cover on his car already. Drive that thing!

  All's well here in Turnersville. Dead branches all over. The ones that hit the roof were scary, but no damage done. I think we really lucked out compared to other locals. Our electric went out from about 8:00 to Midnight. We were prepared with lots of camp laterns and propane.

Big tree snapped in half, took out a chunk of fence. That & "The solar panel incident" as it is now known.


Very thankful. Could have really been ugly

 I know that a few members can't get on the clubs website due to continued power outages. I'm sure there are several others out there also.

Just got power back on a couple of hours ago, although no cable, internet, or phone. Have this archaic wireless card to get online thankfully.   No damage to the house, except for a couple of screens flying off.  Sophia stayed safe and sound in the garage.  We had the T@b hitched to the 8 million pound dually, so she didn't blow/roll away.

 I feel very thankful that we didn't sustain the damage many people directly at the shore did.  I was well prepared for losing electricity,  and since we lose water too (have a well)  the tubs were filled.  Had camping equipment (battery powered lights, stove, enamel percolator, battery radio/charger) in full use. 

My heart goes out to any of you who had damage. Let us know if we can help in any way.   =+grouphu9

Not sure if Sonny is going to make it. 10 plus inches in the garage and the worst won't be here till tonight  pail^


Ruby has been keeping good thoughts for Sonny!  Not even flood waters can keep a good guy down long!  *9rain) She has also scootched over to make room in the garage!  Here's hoping the island access is granted to you soon!   

Seriously, we love you and are keeping our tires crossed!
