I'm so sorry to hear about your father Scott
, you've certainly had quite a bit to deal with it! Lots of pics showing the devastation being posted on facebook & one memorable pic that I won't forget in a hurry is an aerial view of New York city half in darkness & half in light. Very eerie.
I'm glad you & your family are safe & no damage.
I know what you mean with losing electricity- I lost power for nine days when the Queensland floods hit just under a couple of years ago- it was a nightmare!
