Slight update on the storm coming to NJ
Well our Governor called a State of emergency. Meaning no State offices, public transport or schools would be open. He hasn't made it mandatory for private business to close, but he may have to. I just got a call my company will be closed. But there are still a lot that haven't decided.. Considering now our area is probably going to be hit straight on.. (its currently showing landfall within a 60 mile radius of me) It's going to be hell between tomorrow morning and tuesday.. They have done as much prep as possible but they fully expect trees and powerlines down besides flooding.. No one should go out unless absolutely necessary! Some companies are just too greedy tho.. They will try to get their people to come in the morning before the absolute worst of it hits.. Which is now late morning..Why even try at this point?? Like anything is that important barring you're a nurse or emt or along that line! Stupid just stupid! I will post as long as I can until if or when we lose power.... Here's hoping the trees stay standing, the electric lines don't drop and die and the water stays low!!! Ok wishful thinking.. But ever hopefull!

I just can't get my head around the mentality of these people - just greed, with no thought of the safety of their staff. I bet the bosses will be nicely tucked up in their big houses completely safe.

You just stay safe now Gracie - hunker down and make sure you have plenty of candles, anything that doesn't need electricity etc to work, loads of batteries, camping stoves etc. Blankets and that anything precious that could be affected by flooding is put upstairs. Also that your pets are inside. I'll be thinking of you over the next couple of days.

Thankfully my company cancelled yesterday..I had no plans on going in anyway. My daughters company in the same area had them go in for the morning. Dumb.. But she is home now. They let them leave around 11am.. She's staying with us here till it's over. She doesn't want to be alone and I want her with us!! And her street floods anyway..

Have been watching Fox News and it really looks terribly grim. It's just growing and growing by the minute isn't it? Stay safe Gracie.
