10. It's nasty weather, that's for sure

Oct 2012

You know it's a hurricane when water is coming through the edges of windows in a fine spray, even when you've made sure they were sealed tight with caulk the week before.

Cat 1 storms are always hardest on trees. Bigger ones start to wreck buildings.

Stay safe, love, and even though Sandy is no lady, at least she won't hang around long.
