Hurricane sandy: Yt'r check in please!

[Yorkiemom1]

That is what I was thinking....Carmen has not posted since the storm hit her....Lordy, I am so worried about her.....and that litter of babies! It is such a challenge to get a litter through 14 weeks, all normal and healthy, when everything is going along super....when you are up to your butt in alligators, it becomes VERY hard to keep momma and babies on an even keel.....pray for everyone and the struggles they are having to deal with........

I am worried about Carmen too. I know there are other friends that I am not thinking of as being from nj or ny... I am praying they all are ok.

I lived in Miami when andrew hit in 92...in an area that was hit hard!! It was life changing for sure. We got through it and life did get back to normal after a long haul.

What amazed me was people calling (after we had phones) and complaing about small things.. and I did not have food, water, couldn't bath my children etc...makes you see the world differently.

I pary that all my friends and the people of the areas hit can see that they will get back to normal.. or a new normal.. just take it one day at a time. (((( hugs))))

I am fairly certain that the power went out for my neighbors sometime on Sunday, October 28th because I looked out from my house and saw darkness. New Jersey was hit before me, but the winds continued to be bad until Tuesday sometime and Carmen most likely lost power later unless she used her phone to log on to YT. We lost cable and internet for a while, but we didn't lose power yet we are definitely in the minority. I hope we hear from Carmen soon. It is so scary without power and without much contact with the outside world and also for those of us waiting to hear from people we care a great deal about. A lot of people here lost cellular service, too.

Oh Lord...I'm really worried about Carmen as well...is there anyone else that I cant think of that we havent heard from? I don't know of all the YTers in that area...I do pray all from the affected areas are warm and safe. We got the tail end and it was still pretty bad, I can only imagine how bad it was for those that took a direct hit.

I read that some of the cell companies are having problems getting back up and running. I imagine some regular phone service is out, too, where poles and lines were downed. Imagine being without power and no way to communicate. I hope she's married and has a man around or evacuated if she is not married. It might not be safe for a woman alone in situations where she can't get help in ASAP. I pray we hear from Carmen soon.

Boy, Lisa, it does sound like you missed being one of the majority on Long Island by only a few houses. You are truly blessed to have escaped the blackout. So glad you have power, didn't have damage and ya'll are okay. Close call.

Carmen just emailed me (I sent her msgs just in case) She is fine, just got power back on but no internet, tv or phone) Yay! that she's okay!

[GeorgiesMomma]

Kathy that is great news!!!!! Please tell her we were all thinking about her

[yorkietalkjilly]

Big relief! So good to know she's okay! Whew! Now we can all actually say how scared we were!!!!!

[kjc]

Haha! I sent her my phone # not thinking, then I heard other methods may work, so I sent her my email addy... this is what she wrote: (and yes, I told her all of YT was worried and praying for her, her family and the puppies!)

"We are ok no internet tv or phone. We just got power back an hour ago.thank u for checking on us."

Oh thank God!!!! I know you can text when you have no phone service....when we lost phone service, I had to go to the service station and while I sat in line for HOURS, waiting to get gas, I had to PAY kids $5.00 to text my friend in Florida, so SHE could then call my job HERE IN HOUSTON, and tell them how I was doing and why I was not back at work....I had to do that every day for 2 weeks..... I am so happy Carmen is OK!! I dont know Carmen, just know her as a breeder, just know she has a new litter, and just worried about the situation in general....NOW, WHO ELSE IS MISSING!!!!!! WHO ELSE HAVE WE NOT HEARD FROM THAT HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THAT DAD GUM STORM????
