Waiting .... Spent the anxious energy cleaning and organizing the basement. I know there will be water the question is how much. Even plastic crates are at least 12 inches off the ground.

PSE&G sent out this very encouraging email. Telling us before it even hits to expect a week to three weeks of outages is not surprising.... but the part about the gas distribution center being compromised is less than reassuring.

Mauve you are in our prayers.... I am sitting a few hundred miles south 12 miles out of NYC ... Floyd took down trees and left about 12 inches of water in the basement but aside from messy clean up no trauma damage. The large tree that took 4 days to get out of the street only meant we had to drive around the block to get around.

Sending you all the gentle thoughts I can find to circle with the winds.
