I sure was wrong on my assessment of this storm. The cable TV weather reports had me in line for a direct hit and painted my expected experience as life altering. Well, I had heavy rain and strong blustery wind, but not the hurricane they predicted. Not even close and I was suppose to be at the center of its path as it came through New England. It actually went a bit West of me.
Today, on my ride to work I saw how lucky I was. Yesterday on the TV all I saw was wet empty streets in NYC, I assumed that they were obvious reporting with the absolute worst backdrop they could find, even it wasn't representative of general conditions for the drama. But today, I see trees down everywhere, roads closed and homes damaged and now I finally learn that towns in Vermont are under water.
I guess I was very lucky at my home to not experience any of the nasty parts of this storm. I never expected to see this much damage from the storm that passed over my house (it seemed mild) and I was reported to be in the center of it all! What a difference a few miles can make
