Shut Down Everything

[Ｍｒ．Ｒｏｂｏｔ]

My lecturer cancel on us on the last minute. Long Island lost their power of 20 hours or so. My friend who was working on the set of Noah texted me that Noah ark was destroy due to the flooding which is quite ironic.

I spent an entire week at my house in darkness. Catching up on my reading and DS wasn't so bad, but I couldn't go see any of my friends because we had to save gas for emergencies. I passed like 3 different lines for gas on the way back to college and each of them spanned a couple miles long.

New Jersey got decked by Sandy. I heard the ferris wheel and a roller coaster on the boardwalk got washed away into the ocean.

What's more, my friend's grandmother walked back to her home near the shore and found it with 3+ inches of water or something. She might have to abandon it and she's lived there since 1945, so I really hope it can be restored.

Ironically, my college only lost power for a couple hours and managed to sustain itself for the entire week. I couldn't go back there though because all the trains were down.

And this was only, what, a Category 1 or 2? I thought I heard something about it degrading to a Superstorm.
I shudder to think what my friends and family would be doing if this were something more dangerous.

I know I'll never take power for granted again.

It was a Cat 1, but I thought I heard that it mixed with other storm fronts making it cause more damage. IDK. Just know a north eastern is heading this way, so yay, fun times.
