Hurricane

So the remnants of a hurricane came through New York today. The strong winds knocked down a branch from our neighbor's tree. The branch fell on our tree and broke a large branch from our tree. The branch from our tree fell on top of and broke the power line. So we have no electricity. It will be fixed sometime. But we have no idea how long we have to wait because many people have lost electricity and there are only so many electric company workers.

Our neighbors' electricity did not go out. They were kind and offered to run an extension cord from their house in to ours so we could have some electricity. My father thanked them graciously. We plugged in the refrigerator and the modem so we have food, phone, and internet now. We bought some battery operated lights for around the house.

Yesterday I was talking to my therapist and she told me that today there was a hurricane coming. I did not know because I do not watch TV. I told her that maybe the big tree in our backyard would fall down and if it did it would land on my room and kill me. And the next day a big branch from the tree did fall down, but not on our house, on the power line and our neighbor's garage.

So luckily we are all okay. But we can't cook and we have no lights except for the battery ones. Everyone is alright.
