Hurricane Sandy came and went with a terrifying wind and a worst case scenario down on the coast. People evacuated due to mandatory efforts by first responders and police, Shelters were open and a travel ban was in effect and all schools were open. Tomorrow is Halloween and schools will open but our principal asked that children do not wear costumes in an effort to get back to academics as much as possible.
In all, we were luckier in this part of the state and I never lost power. My heart goes out to those who did lose electricity after a year ago when we were without power due to another Halloween storm. It is not a good feeling and we had no school for a week. I feel luckier this time and I was ready with a new flashight and kerosene heater, which I will keep on hand for the next power outage.
