Oh dear God! I keep seeing the devastation in the news and I can't believe how that storm has caused so much damage in NJ and NY! I hope you and your loved ones are safe!! Here in NC it was the Outer Banks that got pelted - we're a few hours from the coast so we just got some wind and rain. Since coming to the US I cannot believe how much attention one has to the pay to the weather here - it can literally kill! London is so much easier - 345 days of overcast weather and/or rain with a few days of sun in the summer (at least that's what it feels like)...
I also hope the power comes back on too - it's cold down here, must be freezing up there :-(. Seems like you're keeping your spirits up though!
