Page 1 of YAY Okay from New Jersey
General Forum
I am okay so is my friends a family fromm USA, New Jersey. I had a bad feeling this storm wasn`t good. The good thing is I am glad I had my trees chop off., a few years ago we got hit with bad windy weather which made me get all my trees knock out., fear it might fall on a neighbor or their home.Finally got my power on Saturday night at 8 pm the same time I lost power on Monday at 8 pm., Five days not too bad , sadly so many still don`t have power or their homes. I was a good sport about and being thankful all I lost was electrical power and home is in tack still. I know this sounds odd but I still do have my humour when after my power was on I still walk about with a flash light in my hand out of habit for the few days in the dark. Happy to be here n thankful.

Oh that`s a relief! I was worried about you, Ella! I guessed your power would be off - 5 days, oh my - I bet you enjoyed a nice hot bath after that!
We have had loads of coverage of the damage caused by Sandy on TV here, and we knew it was bad in NJ.
Really glad to hear you`re ok.
Glad you`re well Ella - didn`t occur to me that you were there until Smurfette mentioned in the other thread, hope you can return to a sense of normality sometime soon!
Oh by the way Smurfette I always had hot water , it heats up by gas, also had cooking by gas also. So I didn`t miss a shower , you could say I did miss the blow dryer, lamps, tv, phone and the computer, I heat up me home with two huge pots full of water boiling up steam , had to keep an eye of that, turn it off at bed time. So I am lucky in many ways.Cannot complaint.
