Hurricane Sandy

[not that clay]

I hope everybody's doing ok and their basements stay dry!

All good here in Philly. It was legitimately terrifying yesterday, though. Our neighborhood somehow left unscathed as we didn't get the crazy amount of rain that we had here during Irene, when a large part of my 'hood ended up under water.

I can't believe the destruction down the shore, though! I saw my friends' parents' house in Brigantine on the news -- they live about a block or two from the ocean and it looked like they were swamped. I spent a decent amount of time down at LBI, too. The roller coaster in Seaside was also the first roller coaster I ever went on -- it's now literally in the ocean.

A bunch of my friends in Jersey got crushed. No electricity and it could be a week before they get power. Tom's tweet looks like he might be in the same boat.

Hope the FOT nation is doing well. We got nailed with wind up here in Connecticut. About 30 miles from the shore, hearing plenty of stories of flooding, etc. so I certainly have nothing to complain about being without power. Hanging out at the local coffee shop, the coffee is hot, the WIFI is up, and as of a few minutes ago, I've got the WFMU stream up. Stay safe out there everyone. Plenty of horror stories coming out of the tri-state area right now, lots of wires down, etc.

Only saw one tweet from Tom today. Hope he's doing well and this isn't another "20,000 movies under the sea" scenario for him.
