No power but ok.. Hope everyone is too

Allison,

Good to hear you're ok.

How are you able to post if you don't have power?

You're up early. I couldn't sleep, so that's why I'm here.

Glad your OK.

Glad to hear some are checking in and as all right as can be.

Has anyone heard from Gordon & his magnificent rooftop gardens?

Kristi.. we're just fine... they gave me my cable /internet back.. we've got power and all across the river here in brooklyn... and I'm the highest land for 10 blocks around... so we're dry... I haven't been up to the garden yet... there was a bushel of wind up there... and shredded most of the brugs.. and whatever else I had left up there...yesterday .. bafore the big winds hit a maple tree was ripped off the lift where it had been tied... guess the shaking /wiggleing had cut through the ropes holding it... but the pot.. a 1/3 of a plastic 55 gal drum ..the tree just slid off it's 2 ft tall lift softly [ ? ] onto the roof... I havent been up for the mornings pictures.. but I don't expect much from the taller standing plants.. pictures at 10 am .. these are yesterday afternoons pictures.. before the big winds really started.about 6 pm.. and went through about 3 am....

Glad your Ok

Power went out last night early evening. I read by use of a battery lamp.. think that we should get a 2nd one of those.

Shannon,

Beautiful and adorable doggies!

Thanks..They are my babies

Allison are you still without power? Can you still get gas?

What are their names? How old are they?

Still no power .. Going to be a while its mess out there.. Said and done it took us 6 hours to find a station open with fuel and get back home .. Three and a half hours just waiting in line .. So we have the generator going and some eggs and bread we picked up ... All the traffic signals are out .. If you ever drove in north jersey you know it's nuts in normal conditions .. Almost sucidal out there with power lines and trees down and nuts on the roads.. Posting from my iPhone ... Hope the gas stations get back up and running soon

Hang in there!

We are hoping for all those in the area.

Glad your ok Allison.. My sister drove around for 2 hrs. trying to find a open gas station. When she did
she filled up her Jeep & two gas cans.

I have a bunch of friends in Essex county that have no power or heat

MY... these stories make being here a walk in the park. aside from the downed trees in the park..but I know what you mean Allison.. the driving in Manhattan.. with out traffic lights is a real chaotic mess.. i'll not do it again today.. we've plenty of gas and food here..come on by... I've got a portion of Manhattan comming for showers
here's my local park, watch out

I'm relieved and happy to see our ATP friends and family popping up and popping in. We've all been concerned. I know many of you are cold and frustrated in the dark. But the rest of us are just happy to know you're alive and well.
