EAST COAST FRIENDS

One of my dearest friends and her niece live in Wilmington, NC. They are 10 minutes from the coastline. Heard this morning that they have been without power since 3 am their time (early Sat.) and are on the tail end of the storm. Supposedly not too much damage in the area.
My poor friend broke her arm last night. Can't believe that happened. Just hope everyone is safe and sound.
Now I'm waiting to hear from my DD and SIL up in NYC. They are moving into their new home today. What chaos!

I'm in centeral long island on the south shore. All the beach areas have been evacuated. Not manditory for less than a mile from the water for some communitees as of yet. But advising them to leave. Hospitals and nursing homes have started evacuating this morning. Sending patients to north shore facilities.
Driving around this morning we noticed how alot of people are really preparing for the flooding. That is the big concern. Alot of sand bags in front of door ways. Business have boarded up all their windows. Everyone is taking precautions!
So everyone be safe! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!!

Yes, it's not a good prediction. I'm in southereastern Pa, very near to NJ. Rain started here around 2pm but just a drizzle.
We have evacuations going on very near to us.
NJ, PA and Delaware are doing an excellent job in preparation for this storm.
I hope and pray that loss of life does not happen.
It is very scary here, I've never experienced anything like it.
Please take all the warnings seriously for those in the path of Irene.

I also have surgery on Monday to boot! :| :thumbdown:
Be safe!! I travel to that area and it's beautiful! The one bright spot is that the rain should put out the Great Dismal Swamp Fire.
