We are safe. We were lucky to not lose power and only experience high winds. No sign of damage to our building or our street, thankfully, though there are fallen trees and damaged cars nearby.

Thinking of all other East Coasters dealing with damage and loss and anyone not yet on safe, dry ground. The last 24 hours have been terrifying. Thank heaven for Twitter updates and CNN streaming online. And thanks for all the thoughtful well-wishes from friends near and far. xo
