    I'm in NC and it's freeeeezing cold and insanely windy. Seriously. My 4 lb chihuahua almost blew away... Not funny :/
    I also have my WHOLE family up in MD, right on the water I'm staying in touch with all of them, praying they're all okay!
    I also have some extended family up in NJ...
    I hope everyone is keeping their animals safe and making sure they are all prepared!!!!

    It's no the storm itself that is the bad part, it is the flooding and the wind blowing trees down. I have already seen three or four big trees fall. Most of the road around me are covered in water, the creeks and rivers are all flooded and still rising. Being in southern PA the real flooding won't happen for awhile, after all the rain and runoff goes into the rivers and creeks and comes south, the real bad flooding happens.

    I feel for you guys! I'm in Toronto and they are calling for winds at 110 km/hour. We've had A LOT of rain so the ground is saturated. They are expecting mass power outages and our temperatures are sitting close to 35 degrees F. Im worried I can't imagine what you guys are going through.

    Kinda funny about the chihuahua, only because I can picture it. The rest isn't funny at all. I really hope everything is okay for you guys!

    Yeah, the winds are super strong. The worst that can happen for us is power outages, and I hope that won't because I have a lot to do: read, study, write a mid-term and a couple papers.

    Agh!

    (PS: I don't know what 35 F means. How dare you cater to their strange language! )

    Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.

    Im in CT along the shoreline. We lost power for about an hour from 9-10pm. Other than that, nothing too special. A couple trees were down on the way home from work but NOTHING compared to irene last year. Sandy, youre weak.
