Noon ET Monday - still just lots of wind and rain, although the wind gusts are definitely stronger than earlier. Study window seems to have stopped leaking. Ran out to get more milk, since Kathleen was afraid we would run out. We normally drink about 1/2 a gallon a week, but since Friday night, when we had 1/2 gallon, they have been drinking it. I assume I will end up dumping this new one down the drain when it goes bad.
A lot of dumb people were out driving around and going to Wawa....

Hurricane Sandy Post #1
Ok, so we are into it now, at 8:00 am ET in Central New Jersey.
I woke up around 5:00 am this morning as the wind and rain started to pick up at that point, at least enough to wake me up.... Seems like mostly coming from the east - northeast, as my study is in the front of the house, facing NE and the rain is lashing the windows now.
Spent Saturday most of the day prepping - caulked a couple of windows, brought in all of the outdoor furniture and grill, made a couple of runs to the brush dump to get rid of our leaves in the street (Township had not come by to vacuum them up yet) as well as a couple of tarps full of stuff Kathleen had pulled out of the backyard last weekend. Pretty much ready to go by mid-afternoon.
Yesterday was quiet all day - literally, the calm before the storm. A little wind and a few showers, but that wa sit. But we are into it now.
School is closed at least today and tomorrow, and Kathleen's work is closed those 2 days as well. They closed my office but of course, said that 'if you can work at home, please do'....
Looks like I missed one window in my study to caulk, as it just started leaking a bit...
