Videos from Sandy

OK.  I'll admit.  There's not a whole lot you can do when the ENTIRE TOWN is out of power.  So we took to the roads, despite the warnings of elected officials.  What follows is a collection of videos from before, during and after Ms. Sandra. 

This first one is from Monday morning, before the storm.  We took Hogan for a walk at Compo Beach in Westport.  You'll be able to see some of the things people were doing to prepare for the storm.  The wind was already whipping, enough the blow the shedding fur off the ol' boy!  When you faced into the wind, you got a pleasant (?) microdermabrasion treatment -- the cheapest of its kind in Westport!

 
 
 
After sleeping in the Family Room (something else the elected officials advised against, since it involves a large bay window), we woke up Tuesday morning to some fairly calm weather.  The wind gusts and whistling during the night were really scary.  Everything they say about a train coming through is pretty accurate.   Here's what I found when I went out the front door.
