Monday Post - Hurricane Sandy, Day 1

So I arrived home from Austin on Sunday after switching flights. Monday was the day that Sandy came through. I walked down to the harbor at high tide, to see how high the water was. It had crossed Shore road and started up our street. This is not unusual for nor'easters around here. Strange to see whitecaps on Laurel Avenue, after coming under the railings and the park benches and crossing Shore road. Lots of people walked down to view the effects of the storm. We are without electricity, so I can only post when connected to the Internet using backup batteries.
