Luckily, Sandy had little impact on the Burgher family. I really wish I could say the same for the rest of our community. We live uptown, which is much higher than lower Manhattan so we didn't suffer any flooding and didn't even lose power during the storm. And if that wasn't good enough, our apartment is long and narrow and runs from the front to the back of our building and while on most days, I curse the layout because it means that we don't get a lot of sunlight (most of our windows face the neighboring building which is about 2 feet away), I felt extremely grateful on Monday as we were well protected from the incredible winds brought on by the storm.
Josh did have yesterday and Monday off from work and Olin's school is closed for the entire week, but other than that it is business as usual for us.
Thanks to all of you that reached out to us via phone calls and emails, it means a lot to us.
A few pictures out our front window Monday night - it was impossible to capture from our vantage point, but the wind was really incredible. I don't know if you can tell from the photos, but the building across the street had to anchor its awning for fear that it might blow away...
