Hurricane Aftermath Updates



Well I am back online with my own computer.  Neighbor Don came over and we looked over and discovered the router password info was on Mom’s computer and is now in my possession.

I took a look around outside.  The dumpster I spoke about last night is now three and across the marsh in the reeds.  We have no idea how they are going to get out of there.  One of our neighbors tree is in half.  Luckily no one lives there.  I spoke to Neighbor Sylvia and she said that the Beach Avenue area is very bad.  Rocks, sand and destroyed sidewalks all over the place.    She also said the trip from her sisters in Derby was harrowing. 

Mom and I took a walk to the end of the street and saw the piles of sand the city of West Haven was making to clear the roads of the sand.  We had to get back because Mom had to do some cooking.  She went downstairs and found the door to the freezer ajar so along with the power outage we lost some food.  She had  an appointment after 1 with the Hematologist.


While she was out I went out to see why everyone was congregating at the end of the street.  It was Fox News Network doing a live feed and interviewed a neighbor.  We stayed out after they finished and we were chatting.  Then we all went back to our homes. 

When Mom came home she got back into the cooking I had finished eating and helped her with the shrimp.  My job was to de-shell them.  President Telka called and she was going to come and see us but the roads were still blocked off. I gave her an update and she told me how things were in the hillside area of the town and what was going on in her neighborhood.

TV programming for the most part is going back to normal.  All the shows I don’t normally watch returned and some still was still affected by the storm.
