Hurricane Sandy

We survived Hurricane Sandy and we were very lucky that we didn't have a lot of damage. I missed 2 days of school because of the storm and luckily Jason already had off of work for one of those days, so I wasn't by myself in the storm. We had a lot of flooding (even through our bedroom window!) and consistent 80MPH winds. Our house didn't have any damage but there were lots of trees taken down near us, many people lost their roof and siding and a few of the townhouses had their bay windows taken off the front of their house. We just lost the door to our shed. Otherwise we were pretty good. We went out after the storm to check everything out.

Shots from the neighborhood.

 This is the typically very small Monocacy River in Frederick. It flooded to a 35 foot storm surge and flooded over interstate 15. The usually 25 foot wide river flooded to about 10-15 acres wide!
