Getting ready for Sandy

Unless you've been living under a rock you know that a big storm is heading into our neighborhood. At present it looks like we will see winds and rain increase during the day Sunday. However, Monday night through Tuesday we will likely see the worst of it. During that time we expected 2-3 inches of rain, sustained winds of 20+ mph with gusts of 30-40 mph.  That much wind for that duration combined with the heavy rain (which will make the ground soft) will likely result in numerous trees being blown over. When trees come down you get property damage along with power outages.

So, that's what we have to look forward to.

The winds will back down a bit on Wednesday, however it will still be breezy. And, the heavier rains will turn to showers. But, still...it could be ugly.

More later.
