sleepymaggieI heard on friday that rain was expected over the weekend -- maybe enough rain to cause some flooding in nyc. There was a light drizzle during saturday afternoon. As the afternoon wore on, the wind picked up, higher and higher.
And things started crashing around outside, the lights started flickering. Kt called to say her power was out. We started hearing about things in new brunswick. When Tif left to go to circle, she directed our attention outside, where a tree was lying in the road.
By morning we had a second huge tree down, fallen into the front of our neighbor's house. Everything was blown every where. And the park was no more -- it was eaten by the river. We live at the top of a hill. At the bottom of that hill is a wide flat park that goes right out to the Raritan. When we went down to visit, we found water right to the bottom of the hill. Walking in the other direction, we found water all the way to the tops of the arches on the rt. 27 bridge.
The past two days have been nothing but sirens and chainsaws. And we're boiling all of our water. Didn't realize we were supposed to until yesterday afternoon, after lots of water was drunk. I think we'll be ok.
