Oh, I had heard one hit Brooklyn, and one hit somewhere else like Queens. I live in Philadelphia. We just had down pours, but New Jersey's shore had some really bad rip currents.

I had to reread that as I was sure I'd read wrong the first time. That's incredible........a nd frightening! I hope there wasn't a huge amount of damage and no injuries.

They were all very lucky. There were no injuries. This weather has been crazy! I pray for a snowy winter. I couldn't take a buggy summer like we had. We need the cold weather, plus I like a good snow.

Your so right. I have family in Omaha. They get tornadoes. Still someone could still get hurt.

And the rains came ..............


Just leaving to head into the village. Our 'corridor' area has villages following along the Shubenacadie River. I'm anxious to say the least to see what has happened to our own. We live set away in the woods with the highway between us and the main road.

This is from North River, 50 minutes away from me.

I hope people have flood insurance. When I had a house at the beach it was mandatory.

These huts seem very popular in the UK. Americans are far more obnoxious. http://southshore.idx.prufoxroach.info/details.aspx?firstrecord=0&VIP=REIPrudentialPropertySearch&searchgeo=margatenj&x=23&y=13&propertytype=1%2c2&sort=5&sortacdc=desc&searchtype=2
Congrats to Andy Murray winning the U.S. Open! The Brits finally have a great tennis player. Henmin I didn't like. He was never great!
