We did "ok" here and made out fairly decent as we didn't even lose power this time around. Last year in September we went for almost a week without power and I'll never go through that again.
I will say this about Sandy, in all my 15 years living on Long Island, and the rest, living here in Pa, I have never heard or felt winds like that in my life.
I was truly concerned at times through that storm, that is no lie.
