I went to get my Dad last night, more for my own sanity than anything else. He lost his power, so I knew I wouldn't sleep worrying about him. Anyway, he lives up in Lake Isle, in Eastchester, which is just about 8 or 9 miles due north of where I live. Well, the Hutchinson River Parkway, which floods out during even a mild storm, was closed, as was the Bronx River Parkway. It took me 2 hours to get up and 2 hours to get back. There were so many power lines down that I had to swerve a few times just to avoid them. Just awful. It reminds me of a Florida storm, because I've certainly never seen anything like it up here  . And SC, you're such a weather geek!  But I mean that with respect. You really get passionate when you're "covering" the weather for us here on the GBB. I think you're more passionate about your weather forecasts than you are about The Godfather!

Yeah, Now I just have to deal with my insurance company to get my roof fixed. Hey, did you hear the joke about the leaky roof? Never mind, it's probably over your head. What happened to the roof? Did you lose shingles or was there actual damage to the roofing itself?

Just lost shingles I think. But a lot of them. Hopefully you can get a new roof out of it. We went through hurricaine Hugo when we lived in Charleston. We lost some shingles but we got a new roof out of it. So I know what you guys are going through.

We were hit badly in Hurricane Floyd. Was that in 2000? Floyd was 1999. I remember because it was my daughters 3rd year at Villanova. She had to evacuate her apartment because a nearby stream was overflowing. The cars in the parking lot were completely submerged. Fireman had to help them evacuate. I heard the NY Thruway was closed on Saturday due to flooding.

Our backyard sloped down toward some woods and our girls had a swing set at the bottom at the time. It was completely submerged. I would have felt fairly comfortable doing high dives off the roof without worrying about hitting my head. Yeah, but you tried that after the water dried up. On the positive side, it explains a lot.

Monday and Tuesday...too much rain. Wed cleared, Thurs was clear, sunny, cool, and today....we're suppose to reach 80, same Sat. and Sun. 75! I took off today for mulitple reasons, but in about 30 minutes I'm loading my bike and heading for the A.C. Boardwalk for a nice 12 mile ride. Hope to see my grandkids today too. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!
