Hey buddy hope you all are OK! Anyone heard from Tom? Glad you all are OK.

I sent Tom a PM. He answered back today. They are fine, minimal damage. No power, phone, internet.
Also heard back from Mike and all is well with them as well.

Hello Arland,
 Thanks for your kind thoughts. We got through the storm with minor damage to the siding and roof and lost a few trees. Thank you Lord! Power, phones, internet all out and will be for some time, but I'm not complaining. As you can see on the news reports, the people along the coast were devastated. So sad to see, but at least loss of life was limited considering the extent of the storm.
 Manhattan is a mess, especially south of 39th Street. No power and extensive flooding means no water, phone, elevators, toilets, subway etc. and this is a densely populated area.  My son Michael is on the NYPD and is telling me that they are getting concerned about breakdown of order due to the conditions. Looting and muggings are escalating and is sure to get worse.
 The World Trade Center has suffered extensive flooding of sea water and the lower 3 levels are underwater. That would be about 100 feet deep over many acres and these are the areas where much of the mechanical systems are located. I'm heading there today to help develop recovery plans. I'll post some photos later.
Thanks again for your concern.
Best wishes,
Tom P.

that does not sound nice - looting and muggings in NY

The south shore and lower manhattan got the worst of it. Lucky for me that we don't live by the water....just a lot of down trees and power lines--and none hit my house. Driving around I see a lot of houses with severe damage from trees falling on them. Power finally got restored yesterday--LIPA and the out of state crews are working around the clock and little by little it is all coming back. My prayers go out to those that lost all they had in this storm.

At the time reported no power.  No other major direct damage reported then.

Glad you and Duane are both OK. Did not mean to exclude anyone else up there in my shout out to Tom. Tornados earlier this year here caused the same damage except we didn't have the ocean storm surge. Lot of folks still rebuilding here from those storms, going to take a lot of time to get back close to normal.  Arland
