We just sent our youngest to college in NY. Then the earthquake in Virginia happen and now hurricane Irene. All that can make a parent nervous.

Hi Everyone
I'm here in Pa, very close to NJ- "just over the Delaware River"
We lost power Saturday and never got it back till Sunday night. No cable for TV or computers from Saturday till MOnday around 4pm. Trees uprooted power lines down, roads closed. We had some water come in right through the windows Saturday late evening due to the wind.
In my area we also went under a tornado watch/warning for about 5 hours on Saturday. Lowest level of the house, etc. Within about a week an earthquake, hurricane and tornado!
Thanks to everyone for thoughts and prayers. We really expected worse but were spared.
I'm also heard from the radio that "caravans" from other states (tree trimers, power company employees, etc) came up to help us along with individuals driving up ( mentioned a guy from Indiana). Perhaps some of you on the board knew someone who came to help. I just want to say thank you to everyone who came and are here to help. You left your homes and families to help us. May God bless each and every one of you.
