A Brush From Sandy Inland Southern New England

The start of October 29 before Sandy hit - a tinge of redness in the sky

I stopped on my way into work to see the Hurricane Barrier that was closed for high tide

A Reminder of the 1938 Hurricane in downtown Providence

The Pawtuxet River still in repairs from March floods of  2 years ago

Just before the height of the storm - the old tree's branches were coming down quickly but the tree survived

Tree on house less than a 1 mile from our house the following day

Birds in park mid-day in Providence the day after 

The day ended with more heavy rain

We were very fortunate away from the coast for the most part as others did lose power and had trees fall on their property from Hurricane Sandy. We did get more heavy rains and thunder but luckily there was a Weather Channel  weatherman nearby who answered me via a tweet as an alert came through but wasn't clear about the severeness of the impending thunderstorm:

@lisapatb regular at the moment, but nasty rain in eastern MA

You may see other storm photos at The Providence Journal Website from throughout the area and along the coastline that was hit hard.
You can also check out their arial shots just in too from the RI Dot.

My thoughts go out to those hit in NY and NJ and other areas severally affected by Sandy's destructive path.
