We spent the night in the hotel listening to the wind and watching whatever got through the satellite dish to the TV. The channels kept going in and out. The hotel lost power, but they had a backup generator that kicked in pretty quick, and then the power came back a little later. I'm happy that the damage to Casa Fixuh was as minimal as it was.<br /><br />Our flight back to Minnesota was supposed to be around 2PM yesterday. That didn't happen. We head back tomorrow evening. I'm sure Newark airport will be a zoo.DBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182965443810437028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-30019868480614590542011-08-28T19:13:00.301-04:002011-08-28T19:13:00.301-04:00Snow is real quiet.

We're having a little party now, me, the Mrs., and the girls (lemonade and raspberry vodka with shrimp cocktail - I'm sharing the shrimp with the girls but not my drinks, heh ...), since the worst is over. Still getting 40 mph wind gusts and a little drizzle, but it's getting better by the hour.Fixerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672137568947891733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-65725830118781373192011-08-28T12:26:41.800-04:002011-08-28T12:26:41.800-04:00Thanks for the update.

When I went to bed last night (1ish out here) it looked like the whole eastern seaboard got pretty much sideswiped but L.I. was gonna get the most direct hit of all.<br /><br />I'm so glad you personally got so little damage I could just shit!Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772126106416366135noreply@blogger.com
