Everybody staying safe? Anybody riding the storm out?

Be careful everybody.

Prayers for all who are impacted by the storm....

God bless,

I was wondering if anyone had heard from Nick. Sandy came ashore right at Cape May.

We are riding it out in the Bluebird in southern Delaware inland. We moved into the bus Saturday night before all the rain figuring on losing electric for a few days. We have had LOTS of wind & rain but we are very fine with no problems at all. We lost electric around noon. Ran on batteries until supper time. Started the genny & ate supper & charged the batteries.

Still blowing & raining but we are finer than frog hair & happy as a pig in mud.   ;D ;D

God has been good to us!

Nick was posting on facebook this afternoon. (had just left the hardware store where he bought a rain coat!)
He also posted some pics of the flooding near there @ Ocean City.
