Sorry I didn't check in. I was actually in Vt making sure that house was OK, while DH stayed in Nantucket to mind it and the boat. All was good. Lots of branches down, but house is fine. Island had some trees down, some waterfront areas had damage and lots of street flooding, but mostly in expected spots though some houses and stores had water damage. The Yacht club had serious dock damage and all the tennis courts got messed up seriously as the fetch came straight at it with the full force, but Steamship Wharf next to it survived better with its big steel bulkheads. We had no boats or planes for several days and again with the Nor'easter though I was here for that. It blew hard for a couple of days, but again minor damage compared to many places. More boats came ashore during the Nor'easter and DH is working with salvage people to get them off the shore before they get totally trashed. This is a random video that gives the flavor of Sandy that I found online. http://vimeo.com/52434932

Glad every one is ok, but horrible to see and hear about some of your damage and that of your neighbors. Patti
