Harricane Wrapup


Hello all,

This will be the final hurricane update because it is blue skys and going to be 80° here in New York today.

In the end, here at the broadcast center all we had was a number of roof leaks and all the sandbags we put out in the end were not necessary. We never lost electricity in the winds were not all that high.

The rest of New Jersey and on the NY shore were not so lucky.  There are more than a million people without power in the tri state area. This morning's commute took an extra 30 minutes as most of the streets I drive along between home and the office have flooding. There is even a section of Interstate 287 that has collapsed because a nearby stream undermined the road. The guard rails, the breakdown, lane and part of one lane is just gone. God knows how long it will take them to repair that damage.

At the house always had was one 40 min. power outage and no tree damage which was our greatest fear.

For those of you on the East Coast hopefully you had no more damage than we did. Tomorrow, I'm off to Los Angeles and hopefully the flooding will be all gone and cleaned up by the time I return.
