What we came home to.
Our steps blew away from our front door....but can you believe our wreath stayed secure on our door.
Our porch had two feet of water and the roof partially ripped off.
Just when we thought we were getting to the end of our projects on our retirement home in New Jersey, along came Hurricane Sandy. As we watch T.V. keeping an update on the storm, we were prepared to leave our place Monday morning so we were out of harms way before the storm touched ground. The mistake we made was leaving while there was a high tide, and because of that my car got trapped and we had to abandon it. That was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. An angel was waiting for us in a jeep and took us to his place, found us a motel to stay in and drove us there. It was the last room available. Anyway, it has been a rough few days but things get better each day. We now have heat, we can stay in our own bed and continue to work each day bringing our house back to our "home". Here are some pictures of some damage. Our bunkbed room had over a foot of water also, but it was too muddy to walk in there and take pictures.
