Hurricane Sandy – Please Stay Safe!

As some of you know, I live on the east coast and for the past 3 days…we have been preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. For us, it has been a big ordeal as we have 3 properties to prepare.

Our summer home (condo) sits right on the beach in North Wildwood, New Jersey so our handyman has been boarding up our condo and preparing it for the incoming storm. We live in South Central PA, which is a 3 1/2 hour short drive from the Jersey Coast. We have been preparing our townhouse and our new house for Hurricane Sandy’s arrival.

They are predicting that the Jersey Shore will be hit hard and 14 months ago we were indeed hit hard by Hurricane Irene. Blah! Here we go again with another big storm. Not cool. For the South Eastern Pennsylvania area, we are under flood warnings and high wind warnings, so we have been tying things down and preparing our properties for the storm.

So far, they are predicting 10″ or more in rain for us, along with those nasty high winds. If you live in this area, you already know that we do NOT need any rain and have had way too much rain this year. On top of that, we got our Fall Foliage on the trees and they predict wide spread power outages for our location. Definitely not cool as I hate being without power and I hope our power lines stay up!

Anyway, if you live along the Eastern coast…please make all of the necessary preparations and get ready NOW, if you have not done so already. It is ALWAYS better to be safe, than sorry! For those of you who live in the path of Hurricane Sandy, we will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself, your loved ones and those around you!

Stay Safe Everyone!!!
