Hi blogfans, sorry, no Manager Mondays post today. We are enduring the slo-mo blast of Hurricane Sandy here in the New York area -- actually in the whole northeast quadrant of the US. An event like this tends to make it hard to concentrate on anything else.
Compared to some of my neighbors, like the one in this photo who had a tree fall on his car, I'm actually having a dull time of it. Would you believe that I just had a crew take down all the trees around my house last week? Great timing, right?
Taking a short walk outside just now gave me a feel for the rising winds. The eye of the storm is 60 miles south of us, but the constant roar of the wind reminds me of the times I used to stand near the Grumman Aerospace wind tunnel building when a jet exhaust test was in progress.
Now I'm just waiting for the power to go out, and when it does I'm sure I'll cozy up with a cat and snooze my way through the storm. Before things go dark I wanted to give this quick post to say I'm fine, I'm 82 feet above sea level, anything that can fly has been battened down or stored in the shed, and my street is miles away from any storm surge flooding. I have plenty of the essentials: bottled water, peanut butter, crackers, cookies, flashlights, cat food and kitty litter. Stay safe everyone!
