Sand(y) in your eye

Well today is a pretty interesting day in the US Snoeks household. Judy had her operation early this morning and is resting in a nice warm solid building with electricity, water, and food services. I'm not quite sure why I'm not there with her!

Hurricane Sandy has started making it's presence felt although we are really just getting the wind side of the storm. Still all major roads have been closed since 1pm so we are hunkered down and waiting to see what happens.

We've had one power-cut, which was restored within seconds but it doesn't bode well for the rest of the night/week I suspect!

Laura and Mike are also here sharing in the adventure as their return flight has been delayed from Monday to Sunday - a good indication of the degree of disruption this storm is bringing!

Now it's 2 hours later and we are on our 12th power cut. Each time it's long enough to knock out the PC, then back it comes. The town of Brookfield is currently at 61% without power so I rather gave up trying to complete this post.

now I post it every few minutes, and update when the power comes back :-)  

I had a call with Judy and she was feeling rather better - just very sleepy.
