I hope you guys are ok! if the landlord takes too long to repair damage be careful to check for mold - our house is so prone to it. do you have a humidifier you can run in the kitchen for the time being? maybe grab some (a lot) of damp rid buckets?</p> <p>--</p> <p>we just hung out all day. we luckily didn't lose power, it was just windy and rainy (northern RI). I'm dealing with mastitis so we laid low, watched tv and played the game of life :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-during-hurricane-sandy/page/2#post-367341 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 09:55:44 +0000 Grace 367341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Oh, that sucks.

Apparently the brunt of the storm is supposed to hit our area at 630.. just in time for bedtime. Awesome. Lmw is teething so we've been fighting to get her some decent sleep... a little tough with a restless bored toddler in the house! I'm so praying we don't lose power. I don't want to have to pump in the car... and how will the kids sleep without white noise?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-during-hurricane-sandy/page/2#post-366593 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:50:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 366593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I'm so sorry to hear that :(:( I lost two grandmas within the last couple years and it is always really hard... It sounds like your family is really supporting each other through it though and that is so crucial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-during-hurricane-sandy/page/2#post-366591 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:49:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 366591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow... stay safe everyone!! I have a lot of family and friends on Long Island, my BIL is a cop out there and he said they had to evacuate 400,000 people along the coastline of LI! Really scary... praying for everyone!!</p> <p>good luck with those kiddos - I could not imagine the potential of losing power with a baby!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-during-hurricane-sandy/page/2#post-366590 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:49:39 +0000 ShootingStar 366590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm home alone with two dogs (ours plus my parents') for the next few days :-/. DH'S at a conference in Indianapolis and my parents left their dog with us to go to Europe. I have lots of water, flashlights and food that doesn't need electricity to cook. </p> <p>Luckily the power's only flickered here. I may go crazy if it goes out, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-during-hurricane-sandy/page/2#post-366585 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:47:43 +0000 Andrea 366585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I'm so glad that you made in there in time at least.

I tried to get gas on my way home (I know, I should have done this yesterday!) and I drive past a pizza shop with a glass front &amp; all the glass was gone, gas station was closed, the pillars on the front of a building were knocked out, wires across the entrance to my carport &amp; the siding coming off out building :/ I put a stew in the oven already &amp; we have a stack of DVDs to watch. I had to convince DH he couldn't to to go to the gym, he's crazy!! We still have power which I'm thankful for!</p> <p>How's everyone else holding up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-during-hurricane-sandy/page/2#post-366454 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:28:23 +0000 winniebee 366454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Oh goodness I'm sorry about your grandfather </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-during-hurricane-sandy#post-366434 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:09:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 366434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH ended up being sent home from work almost right away, and we decided to quickly pack a few bags and come down to my ILs house. I'm glad DH drove and not me...the wind was definitely pushing against the car pretty hard, especially when we were going over a bridge.</p> <p>I definitely feel less stressed here...no wall of windows here like we have in our apartment! </p>
