Hurriane Sandy Heading Our Way!

Now we are getting ready for Hurricane Sandy.  We live right in the evacuation zone. But not going to evacuate.  Our building is pretty safe and high up.  This morning we went to Trader Joes’ to stock up.  Thank goodness we went when we did because by the time we left there was a line down 14^th Street of people waiting to just get into the store.  At the time we bought only gallons of H2O thinking that would be enough in case we lose water during the store.  second guessed only  gallons and went out to buy more, well, the stores are all out!  We went to like 15 different stores  and nada!  Flashlights were sold out too!  I did get the last one at a little bodega down the street.  The guy behind the counter was a little hesitant to give me the last one.  Honestly, we have nothing in terms of flashlights and candles.  They are all in storage back in Chicago!  We were not anticipating a huge scary storm during our year in NYC. Wish us luck!
