Just lurking here. Wondered if anyone has had any damage from hurricane
Sandy. New York and Newark really got hit hard. When y ou see the videos on
the TV of the damage done. its very bad with so many people losing their
homes and much worse than that, losing their lives. This group used to be so
busy and people were so helpful about anxiety and related issues. I don't
know where you all went. Does anybody still lurk here? Hope you are all
doing well.

I just posted the message below in this group but meant to post it in
another group which used to be busy but hardly any messages on it now. But
when I read it again, to some extent, it could apply to soc.culture.scottish
. I can't believe I did that. LOL.

We're in NJ at the moment. We lost electricity on Monday, got it back
late Friday. This time we had no flooding. Bits and pieces of the siding
and trim on the house disappeared, one of my favourite planters was
smashed, and the garden is a mess. We had no landline, internet or TV,
only intermittent mobile/cell phone service, and no central heating. I'm
very glad that we have a bunch of hot-water bottles and a gas stove!
Many streets are still blocked off, gasoline is still difficult to find.
Odd-numbered cars can only buy fuel on odd-numbered days, even cars on
even days. Milk is available again - fortunately I had stocked some of
the long-life stuff, as I can't stand black coffee or tea.

Consider yourself lucky. A friend and her husband went on holiday to
Australia and NZ last week on the day when half the flights at Toronto
airport were cancelled - mostly the ones to eastern U.S. but since she was
going by plane to Vancouver first, then changing to another plane to
somewhere in Australia, her flight was probably OK. She mentioned she was
going to Sydney, Aus. and I said to the opera house? and she said they were
going to a conference there. But NZ is well known too. The Lord of the Rings
was filmed there and wasn't The Hobbit?

Flooding and trying to clean up and lack of fuel and thousands of people

We got remnants of Sandy last Monday and Tuesday with high winds and heavy
rain. Winds caused most damage blowing down trees onto peoples houses and
parked cars.Two people died. All flights from Toronto airport to eastern

Thousands had power outages, but have been fixed and nothing like the extent

Lots of news about the hurricane and its effects and damages on TV news
every day and live coverage of Mayor Bloomberg keeping people up to date
about fuel shortage and when to expect power back. Where is your National
press? This hurricane is big news and did millions of dollars damage on the
eastern U.S. coast, especially New York city, Newark, NJ, and Staten Island.
90 people have died and hundreds of thousands left without electricity, many
peoples houses blown over and people with nowhere to live. Shortage of gas
with cars lined up to try to get some and can't get to work. I would call
that big news.

around half an hour (other places reported waits of as long as two and a
half hours) but I suspect that was due to the signs tied to the pumps,
which appeared to say NO GAS, but actually said NO GAS CANS. Lots of
people just drove past. Other stations had lines stretching farther than
I could see.

Although the weather is beginning to get cool in Delhi, we have had some really hard weather elsewhere in India; however, my eldest nephew, who is a graphic arts designer in Greenwich Village, got flooded out. He was lucky enough to get out with some clothing and important papers, but a number of projects he was working on were ruined. My next to youngest sister, who lives not far from Sheila when she is in Jersey, reports in that their house in Montclair was spared other than water in the basement and that a number of trees were down in the neighborhood; they are looking to sell the house anyway and move South as most of the kids are now out of the area. My nephew and some of his friends are holed up there until lower Manhattan dries out a bit more.

I guess the sign NO GAS CANS should have been more clear by the sounds of
it. I saw on TV news some of these long lines for gas and they are really
long. One gas station on the TV was where an EMS ambulance was the only one
allowed to get gas at that time anyway. Another news video showed people in
New York city with very long lineups to get gas trying to get gas in order
to get to work, and they had to give up, as most gas stations didn't have
gas or ran out of gas. You're getting there Sheila :)

chest for fresh food. Two hot water bottles each and a goosedown duvet
kept us warm at night. Candles and flashlights/torches let us see our
way around. A couple of battery operated radios (the kind you crank)for
news. Miner-type headlamps gave light for reading.
Once some of the roads were cleared, we drove to our daughter's place to
recharge our gadgets and check emails. Her area was one of the few which
didn't lose power. At one point there were 7 laptops, four cellphones
and one or two other gadgets recharging in her living room!

power. They have a nice big fireplace, so were able to stay warm, and
like me, she has a gas stove. There were some massive trees down
throughout the area. Looking at the roots, you could see that they'd
been weakened by being cut back when roads and pavement were resurfaced,
and didn't have sufficient grip on the soil to stop them being toppled.

Hi Jane - are you working in Delhi ? How long are you staying? I saw in the
news that parts of India had a lot of flooding this week. But the seem to
have a lot of bad weather fairly often. Your sister in Jersey will have to
fix things in her house but if they just got
water in the basement it won't be too bad. Maybe better to move to the
south, but you never know what weather they will get there depending what
south area they are moving to. Too bad about your nephew's flood in
Greenwich Village and losing some of his project but good he is safe. It
could be a while before lower Manhattan dries out.They got a lot of damage

Hi Mary--actually I've been there for a while; I am debating whether to return to the States soon or a little later. I plan to be home for our Thanksgiving later this month. And yes, there has been serious flooding in some venues here in Inja, but not as bad as Hurricane Sandy's depravations. My sis and her folks should be ok; my nephew is just grateful to be dry. He commutes from Montclair to NYC and has been successful in reconstructing some of his work, but he just made it back home yesterday to see if there is anything else salvagable, but isn't very hopeful.
