Thank you so much for this thread. I have followed hurricane threads over the years but as a Michigander transplanted in New Jersey this is the first time I’ve been directly effected. I was feeling quite irritated after reading some of the other threads mocking the storm and, in turn, mocking those of us who are in the midst of it.
Regardless of the media frenzy and the armchair quarterbacking about what communities should and shouldn’t be doing, nature is to be taken seriously. My family has prepared for potential flooding and power outages. My husband is about to head out to report to his firehouse for the night, which means it will just be me and our boys here as the storm comes in.
.stay safe, you
I pray you and your boys stay safe. Hopefully the worst of it will miss you (and your husband’s station & territory).
I have been just as upset all night. To some it’s all a big joke. Stay safe, Jersey girl...glad you found us. :)
Stay safe, Jny - and God BLESS your husband for his dedication and often very emotional and heartbreaking work for his community!
Transplanted from Wisconsin. Now in Barnegat. I still have those fears of summer storms.
Thanks much for checking in. Glad to know you are prepared for the worst. Now we will hope for the best. Please keep us updated when you can. Since your husband must work tonight, we’ll keep you company.
