Kathy, I am so glad to hear that you are okay and made it through the storm with less damage. I was thinking of you during the storm and sending hope.
I can't wait to see you soon.

The damage and devastation is surreal, like watching images of Katrina only IRL. Glad you are okay Kathy. Everybody brace for Wednesday. Good luck.

We had a rough day yesterday with the generator as it stopped running for a few hours..I almost lost it All fixed now, but was so scared for a while there.
A HUGE thanks to Jimmy - you are THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :kiss:
Going to try one last time to get these pics up..I just lost the entire post, no idea whay I have such bad luck posting pics?...
The tree that fell on the house I stayed at during the storm
A couple of views of my town when I first arrived back
What my dock now looks like
More of the dock..no idea how we are going to fix this mess
The head of my canal..none of those boats belong to any of those folks. You should be able to keep whatever lands in your yard - right?
This telephone pole needs to be moved to the side of the road no?
You can't see all of the boats that are beneath my friends boat in the middle there..and there are a number more under the house boat. They started lifting these out by crane yesterday. The entire marina that was to the right (behind me) is totally destroyed.
The yellow boat was at the house next to where I dock. I watched the guy tie her up the day I took my boat out of the water..it is about a half mile - via water - from where it was docked in this pic.
My friends the swans I am in awe of them and how they made it through the storm. Emily (with the tag around her neck) and Fred (far right) he hurt his foot during the storm but can still swim! ..and 2 of the kids..
..and the other 2 kids...I adore these guys...
Somehow we will all bounce back..at least we have each other!

Youre welcome. Anytime Kathy. Just glad I could help. If you need anything let me know.
I'm just sorry I didn't have enough gas in my cars to deliver it to you and you had to make the trip here after all you've been through.

Not sure how am I going to get through this post without having to give myself an infraction for using foul language...
@#&^%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally got out of my house for a couple of hours tonight and got back a short time ago to discover that LIPA (who I am not overly fond of to start with) stopped by to advise us that beginning tomorrow morning at 7AM and running through 7PM Saturday night that someone must be at home so we can be certified that our power can be turned back on AND we must sign an Affidavit..and mail it in to LIPA that our electric (the panel I presume, and no it wasn't) was not underwater at all.
btw - there are 3,000 homes between Island Park and the area I live in that they will need to check..no idea if the poor folks in Long Beach also get their power from the same place...
Here's the part that is getting me twisted..
AFTER they do all of these house checks - they said it will be at least 2 MORE WEEKS before they turn the power back on here...
Because THEY have yet to fix the &^%$ LIPA plant that went up in a hell of a light show on the night of the hurricane.
Which LIPA Rocket Scientist designed a WATER COOLED plant (what this one here is) and FAILED to take into consideration that an overly high tide would require them to keep THEIR damned wires OUT OF THE WATER????????????
..already paying through the nose to run the generator (about 12 gallons per day) to run my oil furnace (@3.75/gallon) and now it will go on for another 2 weeks...I should be grateful I have some sort of power here, but at the moment I am so utterly disgusted...
I'd go pick the $ off the money tree in the yard but the hurricane blew them all over...
..and I will have to find someone to house sit the generator during the days I need to be at the swap so my tanks (knock wood) continue to stay warm..swell.
