Still alive and well!! The hurricane hit early Sunday morning and was over about 9 am here. I was very fortunate-I only lost power for 2 hours, I have a big limb down and my garage door cracked in half. Other than that I haven't noticed anything else (except my internet service is down)
About 10 miles away, the town of East Haven, in particular the Cosy Beach section was hammered. There were 25 homes that either collapsed or were washed out to sea. Fortunatly my friends house withstood the storm, although initial reports were that her house was destroyed.
Lots of folks here at work without power, but we were very lucky.
