Hurricane Sandy to hit NJ
First Irene and now Sandy is here. When Spongebob begged Sandy for water, I don't think this is what he meant! Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey are in a State of Emergency and people are flipping out. Some people were not taking Irene too seriously but this time, people are listening to the news. I was scared for Irene so I was trying not to listen to the news about the storm this year, however, I went to my parents house and all they have on are the news. The real flooding is going to hit us tonight around 8/9pm. I'm praying my parent's house will be okay. We never get flooding since we are on a hill *knock on wood* but loss of power is a possibility this time. Plus, we are in front of a park so the trees also cause a problem.
We received a letter in the mail this morning about evacuations. It all sounded good until I read the pet part. It states, "If you have to evacuate, please take your pets with you. Please keep in mind that all of the public shelters require your pet to have a proper carrier or cage for use inside the facility. Shelters will not be able to accept any pets without the proper apparatus," - Lyndhurst Police Department. So, if, God forbid, we have to evacuate, my dogs are screwed. My dogs are way too large and are bigger than me (I am only 4'11). The most we have are muzzles and leashes. I will not be leaving my dogs behind!

Not sure where this is but it's in the East Coast.
Dad went to get some food from ShopRite but he did mention it was basically empty. Thankfully he got the stuff we did need. Thank you ShopRite workers in Lyndhurst for being troopers! Hopefully they get to go home soon so they can prepare... or at least get paid over time... something to be compensated for helping others out! I'm def going to leave my phone charging along with my mom's laptop. Hopefully things will be okay.
Stay safe everyone!
